Renteria Powers Nationals to 7-3 Win
The Tampa Bay Rays and Washington Nationals were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Washington center fielder Alex Renteria made his presence felt in the 7-3 Nationals triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays. Renteria was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Picking up the win was Joe Curtis. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits. The left--hander struck out 7 and walked 2.

In the first inning, Renteria had a 2-run double for Washington. It was his 19th double of the season and put the Nationals on top, 2-0.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Renteria told the Washington Herald. "And padding the Washington win column."

After today's action, Washington sits at 51-72; Tampa Bay slips to 64-59.
