Washington turned a good effort from starter Mike Cunningham into a win over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Tigers Park. The final score was 8-1. Cunningham got the win, improving to 6-4. He gave up 6 hits and walked 1 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The first-place Nationals, at 86-73, lead the National League East Division by 2 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chris Jarvis? The Washington second baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Nationals on top, 1-0. For the game, Jarvis had 2 doubles and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I pretty much put my pitches where I wanted to," said Cunningham.
