Nationals Rally For 8-5 Win
Despite a great performance by Chicago designated hitter David Casas, the Washington Nationals defeated the Cubs by the score of 8-5 at Wrigley Field. Casas was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. David Sly recorded the save for Washington, his 23rd of the season. The win puts the Nationals at 40-65, while the Cubs drop to 53-54.

Late-game drama came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out and the bases empty, the batter, Dave Vargas, hit a triple. It helped Washington seize the win.

"It's a good day to be a fan after a win like that," Vargas told the Washington Observer.
