Nationals Slap 3-1 Loss on Pirates
Washington got a first-rate effort from pitcher Curt Tupper, who frustrated Pittsburgh hitters en route to a 3-1 Nationals triumph at PNC Park. Dave Driskill got the save, the 5th for him this season. Washington is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Jose Orozco, the 2092 Rookie of the Year Award winner , had a direct impact on the outcome. Orozco contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put Washington up, 2-0.

"We played hard and won," said Tupper. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
