Nationals Pull Out Late-Game Win, 7-6
Dru Baker was a major factor in the 7-6 Washington win over Milwaukee. The Nationals center fielder went 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The winner was Washington reliever Griffin Jax, now 7-4. The loser was Kyle Finnegan. After today's action, Washington sits at 55-56; Milwaukee slips to 45-66.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Washington designated hitter Michael Stefanic, facing Steven Matz, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Nationals the 7-6 win.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Milwaukee manager Troy S. "The effort was great."
