    "In one game the New York Mets turned a triple play and hit an inside-the-park home run. It was still not enough against the Nationals on Wednesday night.

    Washington scored three times in the bottom of the seventh inning to break open a tie game en route to a 5-3 victory at Nationals Park.

    The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Nats (21-20). Adam Kennedy hit a pinch-hit sacrifice fly with Roger Bernadina at third and one out in the seventh inning. After Nyjer Morgan drew a walk, Cristian Guzman tripled him home. Ryan Zimmerman followed with an RBI single to put the game out of reach. Washington has now won five of seven games against New York this season.

    Livan Hernandez pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs. His counterpart, knuckleballer R.A. Dickey - just recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Buffalo - lasted six innings with five hits allowed and two earned runs. The Nats bullpen gave up one run in 2 1/3 innings - a home run in the ninth by Fernando Tatis - with closer Matt Capps ending things in that frame for his 15th save."
