Nationals Deal Cubs 12-11 Loss
There was no shortage of dramatics at Nationals Park.

The Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs, 12-11, at Nationals Park. The win was due in part to left fielder Kyung-jin Cho, who belted 2 home runs. The winner was Travis Plesz in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Chris Kroesen took the loss.

Washington won the game in the bottom of the 11th inning. With two outs and Chris Kroesen on the mound for Chicago, third baseman Kirk Arp hit a dramatic solo home run, bringing Nationals fans to their feet.

Chicago manager Mergatroid Skittle said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score in double digits, you expect to win the game."

The Nationals improved to 22-22.
