Nationals Capture Close Win
Lefty Grove pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Oakland Athletics, despite Grove's fine outing, dropped a 3-2 decision to the Washington Nationals at O.co Coliseum. Tyler Clippard got the save, the 8th for him this season. Yes, it was a win for Washington; but their 10-25 record is still nothing to boast about.

Vladimir Guerrero delivered a big hit for Washington. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"Tip of the cap to the Nationals," said Oakland manager . "They played a good game."
