WASHINGTON — James Outman homered, and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers moved closer to a division title with a 7-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. Jason Heyward drove in two for Los Angeles, which leads Arizona by 13 games in the NL West. The Dodgers, who hold the tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks, reduced their magic number to clinch the division to six. Last-place Washington has dropped 10 of 13. Rain halted play for 58 minutes in the top of the fifth inning, the third consecutive day the teams endured a delay. The Dodgers victory on Friday was delayed 1 hour, 34 minutes in the seventh, while Washington's 11-inning triumph Saturday started 4 hours, 10 minutes late.
