For seven innings, the Washington Nationals (60-59) were not able to take advantage of the free passes that the Rockies’ pitching was giving them. Then, in the eighth inning, Jayson Werth finally made the Colorado Rockies (48-70) pay with a two-run triple to right to put the Nationals ahead for good. Thanks to Werth’s triple, Stephen Strasburg (7-6, 4.22 ERA) was able to get the win as he put up a dominant performance, giving up one run on two hits over seven innings. Due to the Mets loss in Baltimore and the Nats’ 4-1 win, Washington is now 3.
