					| Mets Fall Short, 3-2, at Washington |  
					| In a low-scoring tilt between the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets, Chad Mangum was the difference-maker. The Washington right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Mangum went 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 5, and struck out 6. His record improves to 3-8.  The win puts Washington at 34-59. 
 Dave Vargas hit a run-scoring  triple off Steve Kelly in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Nationals in front, 2-1. In addition to the triple, Vargas had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 2.
 
 "We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Washington manager Mike Shore.
