Nationals Get Thrilling 6-5 Win
The Nationals earned a hard-fought, 6-5 win in 10 innings at Nationals Park. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Chicago pitcher Jameson Taillon. Taillon went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs. Chicago, with the loss, is still a hardy 9-4.

The decisive blow was delivered by Derek Hill in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 33-year old right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez to win the game for Washington. The home crowd went nuts.

"We just battled, never quit, and continued to grind out at-bats trying to create some opportunities," said Washington manager Joe Pyrtle.
