The Nationals extend their winning streak to 6 games and complete the 4 game sweep of the Diamondbacks with the 5-3 win. Although the DBacks outhit the Nats, this one got away from them on account of some sloppy baseball - 4 walks, a wild pitch, and FIVE errors. The Nationals had the early 3-0 lead that was erased by a 3-run Arizona 7th, but the Nats came right back with 2 runs off just one hit, an Austin Kearns double. The 2 run lead would hold up thanks to Jon Rauch and Chad Cordero, who earned his 3rd save.
