Jason Bergmann allowed a grand slam which was credited with only one run in his .1 inning pitched. The bright spots were Jesse English, Brian Bruney and Sean Burnett as they did not give up a run in relief.

Hitting
The Nats collected nine hits lead by Ivan Rodriquez three hits. Also, Nyjer Morgan also had two hits and Ryan Zimmerman had his first RBI of the season
