WASHINGTON 3 Colorado 0 (CBS Sportsline<\/i> Boxscore<\/b><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Kearns’s 3-Run Blast Lifts Nats<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i><\/p>\n

At last, Austin’s power<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i><\/p>\n

RF Austin Kearns<\/span> finally hit a long ball again yetserday. His three run shot accounted for all of the scoring as the Nats took the series from the Rockies.<\/p>\n

Tim Reading<\/span> has pitched well<\/a> (The Wash. Times<\/span>) since arriving in Washington. He hasn’t given up more than three runs in either of his four outings. Yesterday, he was rewarded with his first win in three decisions.<\/p>\n

It was a good homestand for the Nats patchwork rotation<\/span><\/a> (The Post<\/span>) with Redding<\/span>, Mike Bacsik<\/span>, Matt Chico<\/span>, Jason Bergmann<\/span> and Billy Traber<\/span> having a 2.79 ERA combined.<\/p>\n

Another look at The Plan<\/span><\/a> (The Wash. Times<\/span>), including speculation that the team isn’t as close to contending as the braintrust thinks.<\/p>\n

A Cincinnati TV station has 12 questions<\/span><\/a> (Local12.com<\/span>) with Jim Bowden<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/span><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON 3 Colorado 0 (CBS Sportsline<\/i> Boxscore<\/b>)<\/a><\/p>\n

Bacsik Starts Great, Batista Helps Finish<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i><\/p>\n

Nats pick up a timely win<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i><\/p>\n

On Saturday, we took my dad to RFK for an early birthday present. I think it had been a month and a half since my last visit which is probably the longest I have gone between games.<\/p>\n

The game was swift because nobody was getting on base. Mike Bacsik<\/span> pitched well, but faltered a little bit in the 7th but Luis Ayala<\/span> kept any runs from scoring. Thankfully for him, SS Felipe Lopez<\/span> had hit the back wall with a solo shot in the sixth. It proved to be enough for Bacsik to earn the win. After Lopez’s homer, the third base stands started bouncing a little bit, a welcome sight not seen in a long time. PH Tony Batista<\/b> knocked in two runs as well. In what could be his last appearance as a National at RFK, Dimitri Young<\/b> was intentionally walked.<\/p>\n
