Steinkamp, Nationals Too Much for Pirates
The Washington Nationals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 9-8, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Matt Steinkamp. Steinkamp was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Nationals on the day. Earning his 1st save of the year was Nate Johnson. The loss lowers the Pittsburgh record to 13-11.

The Nationals got a big hit from pinch hitter Henele Akiliano. In the bottom of the eighth, Akiliano smacked a 2-run double off Pittsburgh pitcher Mike Phillips. It was his 1st double of the season. Suddenly, the Nationals were ahead, 6-5.

"I like to lead by example," said Akiliano. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
