Nationals Stun Giants, 7-5
The Washington Nationals defeated the San Francisco Giants, 7-5. Doing his part was second baseman Chris Rusch, who was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2. The win gives Washington a record of 4-4.

Washington used the timely hitting of Jimmy Bittner to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Rusch told the Washington Daily.
