Riding the 3-hit performance of the 35-year old first baseman C.J. Cron, the Washington Nationals stopped the Baltimore Orioles, 7-2, in 9 innings. The last-place Nationals have won 4 in a row.

Washington grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Cron hit a grand slam home run off Bruce Zimmermann. His 3rd home run of the season put the Nationals out in front, 6-2.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Carlos Delgado.
