Nationals Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
The Washington Nationals satisfied the home crowd at Nationals Park, treating them to a season-opening win, 5-4, over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starting Pitcher Jesus Duran was the standout performer for Washington. Duran got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 6 hits and walked 1 over 7.1 innings. He allowed 4 runs.

The Nationals got a big at-bat from left fielder Chris Rutigliano. For the game, Rutigliano was 1 for 3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Washington a 5-4 lead.

In comments to the Washington Observer, Rutigliano admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
