The Nats four game winning streak was snapped by the Blue Jays as they out slugged the Nats by the score of 9-4 Father’s Day. The Blue Jays scored 6 runs in the first three innings of the game which put the Nats in catch-up mode for the whole game. The Nats were never able to get timely hits through out the game which contributed to the lost.

Shairon Martis had one of his toughest outings of the year by pitching only 5 innings, but giving up six runs! The bullpen work of Kip Wells and Jesus Colome pitched 3 innings of shut out ball. Joel Hanrahan continued his struggles by pitching one inning and giving up 3 runs.
Batting:
The Nats collected 12 hits, but managed to score only 4 runs. Josh Bard led the way for the Nats offense by getting three hits and two RBI. Cristen Guzman, Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn also added two hits apiece.
