Nationals Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Cubs
The Washington Nationals defeated the Chicago Cubs by the score of 8-7, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Bubba McGinnis. McGinnis went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Nationals on the day. Jamie Wilson, the winning pitcher, is now 4-3. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 3. Dallas Cart, who led the NL in saves with 46 last year, nailed down the save.

In the bottom of the third, McGinnis had a 2-run home run for Washington. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Nationals on top, 3-1.

Nationals manager Doug Graff praised McGinnis after the game. "I keep telling everyone," he said, "'Don't go to sleep on this kid.'"

The win hiked the Washington record to 19-19.
