5-for-6 Day for Klasek
A jubilant Eric Klasek joined the postgame press conference at Nationals Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Washington Nationals pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Diamondbacks to a 14-3 win.

"He made it look easy," said Mike Shore, manager of the Nationals. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Eric Klasek singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, walked in the 8th and struck out in the 9th.

Currently Klasek is batting .299 with 4 home runs and 14 RBIs.
