Big Day for Ruiz in 6-2 Nationals Win
The performance of Randy Ruiz proved critical in helping Washington beat Florida, 6-2. The Nationals left fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Carlos Villanueva got the win, improving to 11-10. He worked 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 1. With the win, the Nationals have a record of 71-65.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Ruiz. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
