Washington pitcher Brian Ramirez got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Tim Kull got the loss. Washington, at 21-27, sits in 4th place in the National League East Division.

In the bottom of the fourth, Washington center fielder Bob Melley had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Melley stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 6-5, Washington. For the game, he went 1 for 3 with a walk and was hit by a pitch.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Sanders told the Washington Observer.
