WASHINGTON -- On a night when Gio Gonzalez earned his 100th career win, the Nationals starter deflected praise to his teammates.

Thats the key to his success, not getting runners on base or not walking people and he had a very good game tonight, excellent game.While Gonzalez hit the century mark, Rockies rookie Jeff Hoffman (0-2), remains in search of his first major league win. Hoffmans first two starts have come against the top two teams in the National League in the Cubs and Nationals.I feel really grateful for that opportunity, Hoffman said. I feel like they pulled me up at a good time to test me and to test our team. Next time out, at home, were going to go out there and get another one.Hoffman allowed a homer to the second batter he faced when Werth went deep for the second time in as many days and the 18th time this season.Murphys blast gave the Nationals a 4-2 lead in the fifth.Nationals rookie Trea Turner led off multiple innings with an infield single and his speed caused the Rockies to commit three errors. Turner stole his 16th base and scored two runs.When you can run, you make people rush, Baker said. And if people rush in this game most of the time theyre not themselves and most of the time theyre going to make mistakes. and thats what Trea does.Hoffman tossed six innings and allowed four runs (three earned) and six hits with four walks and three strikeouts.I thought there was some positives, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. He gave up some runs early and really fought to get through six.Putting down that sixth inning I think was a nice step for him. Hes got a good arm. I like what I see from him the second time out here.The Nationals blew the game open with a four-run seventh off reliever Matt Carasiti, highlighted by a two-run triple from Harper.Closer Mark Melancon retired Christhian Adames for the final out.
