Home Field Advantage: Nichols, Washington Open Division Series with Win
The Washington Nationals started the Division Series in style today, downing the visiting Chicago Cubs at Nationals Park by a score of 4-3 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Nationals right-hander Reece Nichols threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs.

Had Mike Blair not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Blair hit a run-scoring double. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Nationals.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said Nichols. "I think we showed that here."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Nationals Park in Washington.
