Nick Johnson touched them all and had 5 RBI as the Washington Nationals
defeated the San Francisco Giants by the score of 5 to 4 at SBC Park.
The San Francisco fans didn't appreciate the big day Johnson had. He doubled

the season) in the 3rd inning and doubled in the 8th inning. Overall
Washington out-hit San Francisco 11 to 4.
The win was credited to Pedro Astacio(2-3) who went 8 innings allowing 2 runs.
Astacio was helped out by Chad Cordero who recorded his 23rd save. Noah
Lowry(2-8) took the loss.
