The New York Yankees took Washington pitcher Jim Boeckman's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Nationals Park. The final score had New York getting past the Nationals, 4-3. Boeckman went 5.1 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 9. The American League East Division-leading Yankees have a record of 77-56.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Hugo Rodriguez? The 26-year old third baseman Rodriguez stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put New York up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said New York manager George C.
