Extra-Inning Win by Nationals Over Twins
The Washington Nationals went home winners at Target Field, thanks in large part to starter Ty Buttrey. Buttrey stifled the Minnesota Twins, enabling Washington to grab the 7-1 win. Robbie McJannett, now 7-4, was credited with the win in 2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The setback makes Minnesota 50-55.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder David Dahl came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Minnesota pitcher Pat Calhoun, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 2-1.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Buttrey. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
