The Washington Nationals got back at the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night with a 5-0 victory. It was a great game all around for the Nationals as they limited the Diamondbacks to only three hits and held them scoreless the entire game. That is the way you want to play every game!
John Lannan improved to 5-9 on the season with the victory as he tossed six innings and only allowed two hits. It was a good quality start for Lannan as his only mistakes were three walks but they never came back to haunt him.
Joel Hanrahan, Luis Ayala, and Jon Rauch all pitched one inning of relief and all did a great job out of the bullpen as they all pitched scoreless innings.
Jesus Flores led the Nationals at the plate as he hit a three run home run in the sixth inning and finished the game with three rbi. Kory Casto finished the game with two rbi as he walked in the second inning and then had a rbi double in the sixth.
The Nationals will try to win the series on Thursday as they face off against the D-backs once again.
