The Nationals pull out the win thanks to 4 hit days from both Nook Logan and Dmitri Young. Logan contributed 4 singles, 2 stolen bases and scored twice on the day, while Young was just a triple shy of the cycle and knocked in all but one of the 5 Nats runs.

John Lannan gets his major league win with 6 innings and 3 runs allowed, while Saul Rivera gets his first save of the year.
