Jordan Zimmerman had a tough first inning who gave up 6 runs, but allowed no runs in the next five innings. The bullpen of Joe Beimel and Kip Wells gave up 3 runs in 2 innings pitched. New Nat Ron Villone got the victory with by allowing no runs in his one inning of work.

Ryan Zimmerman, Cristen Guzman, Adam Dunn and Jesus Flores all had two hits apiece. Josh Willingham hammered his second homer of the year. The leading RBI men were Johnson and Dunn who both had three. Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to 25!
