Cubs Absorb 2-1 Loss at Nationals Park
Pablo Aldonis never let the Cubs get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Nationals to a win, 2-1. Earning the save was DJ Herz. He's now cashed in 28 of 33 save opportunities. The Nationals sport a record of 49-87.

In the bottom of the fifth, Washington second baseman Luis Garcia had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Garcia stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 2-1, Washington. For the game, he went 2-4 with 2 singles.

Aldonis attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
