Washington Nationals pitcher Bill Freake was in fine form, leading his team past the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-0. Freake, the winner, moves to 7-10. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 1 walk. Washington, at 87-68, holds down second place in the National League East Division.

Washington used the hitting of Ben Baker to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Nationals on top, 2-0. For the game, Baker had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"My job is to throw quality pitches, go as deep as I can, and give us an opportunity," said Freake.
