Nationals Win, 8-4, Versus Minnesota
Though he had a stellar game, Francisco Mejia could not prevent his team, the Minnesota Twins, from losing, 8-4, to the Washington Nationals. Mejia was 3-4 with a home run and a double. The win elevated the Nationals to 60-46.

Washington used a timely hit from Oscar Hernandez to get the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Washington manager Mark Grudzielanek commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
