Nationals Win at Pittsburgh, 2-0
Washington starter Liam Dorfman put a stranglehold on the Pittsburgh offense. The right-hander had complete command of his cutter in leading the Nationals to a 2-0 win. Dorfman, the winner, moves to 3-6. He threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 1 walk. The Nationals have now won 4 straight.

Washington relied on the hitting of Kyle Spencer to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Nationals on top, 2-0. For the game, Spencer had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Washington manager Doug Graff said.
