Chicago got a valiant performance from pitcher Jesus Luzardo, but it wasn't enough to beat the Washington Nationals. Washington won the game, 5-2. Luzardo threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Washington reliever Erik Miller picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Andres Munoz absorbed the loss. With the victory, the Nationals upped their record to 32-31.

Washington got a clutch hit from Brandon Valenzuela. The pinch hitter launched a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Valenzuela.
