WASHINGTON (AP) — Kyle Hendricks earned his major league-leading 13th victory, Rafael Ortega homered and the Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 6-3 Saturday night. “It was a really, really tough time, and still is,” Hendricks said. The goal is to win ballgames.”The right-hander pitched seven innings, allowing a run on four hits while striking out three. With Hendricks out of the game, the Nationals pounced on Rex Brothers for three hits and a walk to open the eighth. Nationals: RHP Erick Fedde (4-7, 5.05), who is 0-3 with a 6.68 ERA in his last seven starts, gets the nod for Washington as the three-game series concludes.
