ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nationals slugger James Wood became the first major leaguer since Barry Bonds to be intentionally walked four times in a game in Washington’s 7-4, 11-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
Bonds was intentionally walked four times in four different games in 2004. The only other players since at least 1955 to be intentionally walked four times in a game are Wood, Roger Maris, Garry Templeton, Manny Ramirez and Andre Dawson — who drew five intentional passes for the Chicago Cubs against the Cincinnati Reds on May 22, 1990.

Wood went 1 for 2 and then was given a free pass his next four times up — with runners on second and third base in the fifth, a man on second in the seventh, a runner on third base in the ninth and a man on third in the 11th.
The Nationals earned their first series win in Anaheim since 2005 — their first season after relocating from Montreal.
