The Washington Nationals used the hitting of right fielder Justin Morneau to subdue the New York Mets, 8-5. For the game, Morneau was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Rigoberto Blancas. He tossed 92 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. The win makes Washington 62-91.

Washington used the bat of Joey Votto to get the win. The third baseman spanked a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 7-4. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it altered the outcome.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Morneau told the Washington Today.
