Though he had a great game, Edmondo Saiz could not single-handedly produce a win for Charlotte. Washington won the game, 10-2. Saiz was 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Chris Buentello. He's now 8-5. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 9 hits for the Nationals. Washington currently is in first place in the National League East Division at 99-54.

Vinny Lopez had an important at-bat with two out in the bottom of the first, when he hit a 2-run home run. His 47th home run of the season put Washington on top, 3-0.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Lopez.
