Mike Rizzo’s tenure with the Washington Nationals may be done, but the longtime team executive is providing the club’s fan base with one more memory. Rizzo, who was fired last Sunday as the Nationals President and General Manager, has invited fans to enjoy a round of beer on him during a Monday happy hour as a token of his appreciation. In a social media post Friday, he thanked the fan base and invited them to grab a “Round on Riz,” from 5 to 7 p.m. at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern or Walter’s Sports Bar. The post came from the Rizzo Family Foundation, which aims to help pediatric cancer patients and their families.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Daylen Lile homered twice and drove in four runs, Erik Tolman pitched out of a bases-loaded jam to earn his first major league save, and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 6-3 on Monday night.

Lile, named the NL player of the week earlier Monday, finished 3 for 3. The second-year outfielder has five homers over his past eight games to reach 20 for the season. Brady House was 2 for 4 with an RBI for the Nationals. Andrew Pinckney and Keibert Ruiz also had two hits apiece.
