					| Nationals Shut Out Braves, 8-0 |  
					| The Washington Nationals topped the Atlanta Braves, 8-0, in National League action at Nationals Park. The standout performance belonged to Washington pitcher and Kamisu, Japan, native Chitoji Takemoto. The first-place Nationals, at 82-41, now lead their division by 2 games. 
 The Nationals got an important contribution from shortstop Luis Torres, who in the bottom of the second knocked a 2-2 fastball into right-center for a bases-clearing  double. It was his 38th double of the season and put the Nationals ahead, 4-0.
 
 Torres called the win "a team effort."
