Astros Fall, 9-2, to Byrne, Nationals
Nationals third baseman Zach Byrne left his imprint on his team's 9-2 win over the Houston (GCL) Astros. Byrne was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 times for Washington (GCL) in the contest. With the win, Washington (GCL) pushed its record to 17-14.

Humberto Rubio had a big 2-run double for the Nationals in the bottom of the second inning. With Washington (GCL) leading 2-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 19-year old right-handed pitcher Kevin Bishop and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Nationals ahead, 4-0.

"Things went our way," said Byrne.
