Washington Takes Division Series in Deciding Game
It was a rousing finish to the Division Series at Nationals Park today.

The Washington Nationals sent the Chicago Cubs home for the season with a 5-4 win in the decisive game of the series.

The Nationals took the series 3-2. Up next on their schedule is the League Championship Series.

Hauling in the MVP trophy was Washington third baseman Junzo Kato. His numbers included a .364 batting average, 8 RBIs and 5 runs.

"With any luck, I'll be hoisting another one of these at the end of the League Championship Series," he said.

The Washington Nationals will play against the New York Mets in the next round. New York won their series against the San Diego Padres 3 games to 1. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
