The Washington Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1, in National League action at Citizens Bank Park. Washington pitcher Jackson Kowar had a standout performance. Kowar picked up the win for Washington, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 8-5. Donald Austin recorded the save for Washington, his 5th of the season.

Washington used the clutch hitting of Matthew Grace to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Jackson is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Washington manager Joe McEwing.

Washington is now riding a 3-game win streak.
