10 Straight Wins for Nationals
PNC Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Washington catcher Konrad van Pelt was a significant contributor in his team's 5-4 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He hit 2 home runs for Washington. Jakub Kvacek earned the save for Washington, his 6th.

Washington used the clutch hitting of Lirak Bazhunaishvili to snag the win. The left fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Pittsburgh manager Sam Mcg Pittsburgh said following the tough loss.

The Nationals, now 17-6, have been sizzling early on.
