The Nationals bats are once again alive, putting up a crooked number in 3 separate innings on their way to an 8-2 win. Felipe Lopez got the scoring started in the 2nd with a home run following a single by pitcher Mike Bacsik. The Nats add 2 more in the 4th on 2 walks and 3 singles, including another one from Bacsik. Then in the 6th, they would add 3 more on an RBI single from Austin Kearns and a 2 RBI double from pinch hitter Ronnie Belliard. Bacsik went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs and earning his first win in a Nats uniform.

Trivia: what did Mike Bacsik do in the real 2007 season to become a part of history?
He gave up Barry Bonds' 756th career home run.
