Danny Espinosa celebrates his 7-RBI night by slapping Jayson Werth's face

Espinosa drove in seven runs in the Nationals' 13-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, thanks to a grand slam and a three-run homer.

Hey, whatever works. And something obviously is working for the Nationals, who have a six-game lead in the NL East.

We're just anxious to see whether Werth seeks out Espinosa the next time he homers.
