The Washington Nationals topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-7, at Nationals Park. Washington first baseman Juan Rodriguez was a spark plug for the offense.

With Washington leading 7-2 in the bottom of the fourth, Rodriguez batted against Pittsburgh pitcher Josue Gallegos. Rodriguez hit a fastball to right for a solo home run. His 4th home run of the season put the Nationals on top, 8-2.

"This is a great group to be a part of, and it's a big win for us," Rodriguez told the Washington Observer.
