Nats post second shut out of the year as they beat Dodgers, 1-0.

The Nats played good defense and had great pitching to make one run stand in a 1-0 victory over the Dodgers. Scott Olsen, Tyler Clippard and Matt Capps all did their job to post the second shut out for the Nats this year. Josh Willingham and Justin Maxwell made two excellent outfield plays to ensure the shut out was intact. Adam Dunn's ground out in the first inning was the only RBI in the game.


Pitching:

Olsen pitched 7 innings of shut out ball as he picked up his 1st victory of the year. Clippard again was in impressive form as he tallied up his 3rd hold of the year by pitching a scoreless 8th inning. Capps notched his 8th save of the year as he closed the door in the 9th inning.


Hitting:

The Nats scored one run on four hits. Nyjer Morgan and Cristen Guzman led the Nats with two hits apiece. Dunn had an RBI.
