Happ homers, has 4 RBIs on 3 hits as Cubs down Nats 7-1
Colin Rea (4-2) allowed five hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings after opener Drew Pomeranz completed a clean first as the Cubs won the rubber game and their 16th of their last 21 games overall.
Washington's Jake Irvin (5-2) allowed three runs over five innings, including Crow-Armstrong's two-run shot in the first and Happ's run-scoring double — good for his 500th career RBI — in the second.
Luis García Jr. singled in the Nats' run in the ninth.
Happ connected for his two-run, 405-foot drive off the facade of the third deck in right field against Jackson Rutledge in the sixth. In the ninth, he followed Reese McGuire's run-scoring infield single with his own RBI single to center off Eduardo Salazar.
Nationals: Continue their homestand against Texas, opening the series against former teammate Patrick Corbin (3-4). The left-hander spent the previous six seasons with Washington and was its last remaining player from the 2019 World Series-winning team. Righty Michael Soroka (2-3) goes for the Nats.
