9-7 Loss Deepens Washington Funk
The Washington Nationals extended their losing streak with a defeat by the New York Mets.

Washington designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-7, to New York at Shea Stadium. Choo was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The losses continue to add up for Washington, having now dropped 9 straight.

The Nationals had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Mets going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old catcher Marco Orbegoso came to the plate. Orbegoso hit a 3-run home run on a 3-1 fastball from Washington hurler Dennis Medina. It was Orbegoso's 11th home run of the year.

Washington manager Mike A, after yet another defeat, said: "We don't want to panic. At the same time, we need to stop the bleeding."
