SAN FRANCISCO 5 Washington 0 (CBS Sportsline Boxscore)

The Nats only managed four hits last night and Dmitri Young had to be removed because of a tweak in his hamstring. He plans to resume playing tomorrow in Arizona. Matt Cain (6 IP) earned the victory for the Giants, while Tim Redding picked up the loss for the Nats. If you care, Barry Bonds homered (The Wash. Times).

Nationals Can’t Keep Party Going – The Post

Homers doom Nats – The Wash. Times

Shawn Hill is scheduled to rejoin the rotation next week, so someone will have to be sent down (The Post). I’d send John Lannan to AAA and let him continue pitching there, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Bacsik draws the short straw. Of course, the way things have gone for the Nationals this season, someone will probably get hurt. I’ll say it’ll be Matt Chico.

The Nationals were part of history (The Wash. Times) on Tuesday night, blah, blah, blah.

Bacsik has handled his place in history (nationals.com) well so far. I guess he’ll be saying “four minutes to eight now.”

I couldn’t find Jim Bowden’s column.
