The Washington Nationals clinched their first winning record at Nationals Park with a win over the Florida Marlins yesterday, 4-3. Yay, progress! The victory ended a 2 game skid and left them in a virtual tie 3rd place in the NL East with the New York Mets. They are 4 up on the Marlins who reside in last place. The Nats home record this season is 42-35. Truth be told, they probably earned the winning record with their 41st win since the rained out game against the Los Angeles Dodgers is unlikely to be made up.
Chien Ming Wang earned the victory for the Nats, going 6 2/3 and giving up 3 runs. He is now 3-3 and talking about a future with the Nats, as is manager Davey Johnson.

So, if the Nats sign Wang, the rotation would likely be Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, John Lannan, Wang and somebody from the Brad Peacock, Tom Milone, Ross Detwiler pool.
