Rendon, Nats answer Stanton HR, win 80th

Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton continued his tear through the month of August with a solo home run in the first inning, but the Nationals answered quickly, highlighted by third baseman Anthony Rendon, who drove in four runs, to punctuate an 8-3 victory Tuesday night at Nationals Park. Rendon reached 85 RBIs on the year, matching his career high set last season. And the victory improved the Nationals to 80-51 on the season, matching a franchise record with the 2012 club for the fastest team to 80 wins.
