The first-place Washington Nationals picked up another win.

Armando Carbajal, who finished 5th in the NL in doubles with 40 last year, helped out the Washington cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the designated hitter was 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 3 runs.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," O'Brien told the Washington Daily.
