Vic Power blasted a homerun and had 4 RBI as the Washington Nationals
outscored the slumping Cleveland Indians 6 to 1.
Power was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at
their team's expense. He doubled bringing home two baserunners in the 3rd
inning and bombed a two-run dinger in the 7th inning. Overall Washington
out-hit Cleveland 9 to 4.
The win was credited to Bob Rush(1-1) who went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 1
run. George Susce(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He was a hard-luck loser as
he did not allow an earned run in his 5 innings of work.
