Span Blasts Astros, Wizards Take Game 4, 5-0
In a crucial game, the Washington Wizards put on their best show, beating the Houston Astros by a final score of 5-0. Denard Span was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Washington and Houston are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-5 affair.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Todd Frazier? The Washington designated hitter had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Wizards on top, 3-0. For the game, Frazier had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Washington manager Rich Hinton told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
