Nationals drop rain-delayed 8-3 decision to Padres in Petco Park

One out into tonight's game there was a two-hour rain delay. Washington Nationals' starter Doug Fister didn't fare too well when the game restarted. San Diego Padres' starter Tyson Ross got a lot of run-support and cruised. 8-3 final in Petco Park.

5. Fister returns to California: After he walked at least one batter and as many as four in his first four starts, Merced, California-born right-hander Doug Fister avoided walking anyone in his last two outings, both wins for Washington.

In a 1-0 win over the New York Mets in Citi Field, Fister threw 6 u2153 scoreless, and he limited the Atlanta Braves to three runs on six hits in 6 u2154 IP in D.
