The Washington Nationals knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 7-3, in National League action at Wrigley Field. Washington pitcher and San Diego, California, native Stephen Strasburg had an outstanding performance. The win has Washington at 59-94.

Matt Thaiss had a big 2-run double for the Nationals in the top of the second inning. With Washington leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from Jose Quintana, who is tied for 7th in the NL with a 3.42 ERA, and swatted a double to center. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Nationals ahead, 3-0.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Thaiss.
