WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Ronny Belliard and Pete Orr had two-run pinch hits Saturday night to rally the Washington Nationals to a 10-6 win over Cincinnati.

Washington trailed 5-2 heading into the bottom of the second inning, but scored eight of the game's last nine runs.

Belliard's two-run homer in the sixth started Washington's comeback and Orr's two-run seventh-inning single broke a 6-6 tie. Alberto Gonzalez and Austin Kearns had three hits apiece and Emilio Bonifacio added two hits in the Nationals' second straight win following a nine-game losing streak.

The winner was reliever Charlie Manning (1-2).

Cincinnati scored five times in the second on Joey Votto's three-run double and Jay Bruce's two-run homer.

Paul Bako had one RBI and Bruce had two hits for the Reds, who have lost seven of eight.

Losing pitcher Mike Lincoln (1-3) allowed four runs -- three earned -- and three hits in 1/3 of an inning.
