Nats Rally, Dodge Their 100th Loss, For Now – The Post
Nats dodge century mark by rallying to win – The Wash. Times
Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley kept the Nationals hitless through 5 2/3 innings. He walked two in the sixth before serving up his first hit of the game — a three run homer by Ryan Zimmerman (31 HR 100 RBI). That tied the game at 3. In the eighth, Elijah Dukes hit into a fielder’s choice that scored Cristian Guzman. Manager Jim Riggleman sent closer Mike McDougal out in the bottom of the inning with the lead. He faltered in the ninth and the Dodgers tied it back up. In the bottom of the ninth, Justin Maxwell singled, took second on a sacrifice bunt and then stole third. Pete Orr knocked him in on a ball that Andre Either dropped. Game over, Washington beats Los Angeles 5-4.

Oh, by the wya Dick Heller, your whiny column is not link worthy.
