Washington Beats Houston, 4-2
|
Washington picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Houston Astros, 4-2. Pitcher Phil Coke was a major reason the Nationals emerged victorious. David Phillips nailed down the save. Washington is first in the NL East Division with a record of 68-42.
Nick Markakis had a big solo home run for the Nationals in the top of the third inning. With Washington leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Ben Sheets, the 10th overall pick in the 1998 draft, and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Nationals on top, 3-1.
Houston manager DJ Morton, after the game, said, "Right now, we're just not getting that big hit."
