Nationals Top Cardinals, 5-1
Washington Nationals starter Joe Pullen was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1. Pullen, now 2-3, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 6, walking 3, and allowing 1 run. The Cardinals, now 11-19, continue their inauspicious start.

Washington used the bat of Mario Garcia to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Garcia expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
