Nationals Get Hard-Earned Win
In the 7-6 Washington win over Houston, the impact of Jonathan Aranda was substantial. Aranda was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs. Washington reliever Nate Pearson picked up the win, upping his record to 1-2. Hunter Harvey was saddled with the loss. The Nationals are off to a tough start, getting just their 5th win in 19 games.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Washington. That's when 28-year old second baseman Michael Stefanic hit a run-scoring double off Hunter Harvey to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Stefanic.
