					| Washington Neutralizes Pittsburgh, 2-1 |  
					| Pittsburgh got a terrific performance from pitcher Sam Richardson, but it wasn't enough to beat the Washington Nationals. Washington won the Nationals Park contest, 2-1. Richardson threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. David Sly recorded his 31st save for Washington. Washington currently is in third place in the National League East Division at 60-74. 
 Tommy Baird  aided the Washington cause with a run-scoring  ground out in the bottom of the third. For the game, the center fielder did the little things right to help the team.
 
 "I was a little disappointed," said Pittsburgh manager Sam Mcg Pittsburgh. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
