Nats end losing streak in 3-2 win over Mets
It's been a tough start for the Nationals, but a few lineup changes and a nice 2nd start for Tavarez produced divedends in a close 3-2 win.
After a nice start by Van Campen, the Nationals manager rewarded him by moving him up to the cleanup spot from 9th, and he responded going 2 for 5 with a double.
Starter Tavarez pitched well, going 7 innings and giving up only 1 run. Designated closer Aaron James pitched a perfect 9th inning, striking out two out of three batters in securing the win, which raised the Nats record to 2-5 on the year. The Nationals hope they can build on this win.
The Nationals have June 27th off, but will play the next day against the Marlins. They will send Adam Carr to the mound, who struggled mightily in his first start, only lasting 2.1 innings. Hopefully he will do better this time around, but the Nats will probably have a short leash on him. They will be pitching against Corey Madden, who had a no decision in his first start, giving up 4 runs in 8 innings.
