5 Straight Wins for Nationals
The Portland Tigers got a sterling performance from pitcher Melvin Caballero, but the Washington (Rk+) Nationals still prevailed, 10-5. Caballero threw 5.0 innings of shutout ball. The first-place Nationals have won 5 straight.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Juan Canarena came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Portland pitcher Jim Unknown, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington (Rk+) on top, 6-5.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Canarena. "You've got to get results."
