Nats Nightly

San Francisco Giants’ righty Matt Cain held the Washington Nationals hitless though five, and the Giants’ pen allowed just one earned run in four innings in what ended up a 3-1 win. Gio Gonzalez was not particularly sharp, but the two runs that scored when he was on the mound were the result of errors. Washington settled for a split of the four-game set in AT&T Park, and they head off to Arizona for a three-game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 61-44 record on the year.
