Washington beat Atlanta at RFK Stadium, eking out a 3-2 win. The triumph was primarily due to catcher Brian McCann. He went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Washington is now 58-91, Atlanta 90-59.

McCann had a timely hit for Washington in the bottom of the eighth. With Washington trailing 2-1, he turned a 0-1 fastball into a 2-run home run. It was his 20th home run of the season, making it 3-2, Washington.

"Sometimes a win comes easy," McCann told the Washington Herald. "And sometimes you have to scratch and claw."
