to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at Griffith Stadium as the
Washington Nationals beat the Cleveland Indians 10 to 3.

Podres(2-3) gave Washington a solid outing.  He allowed only 7 hits and 2
walks in 9 innings.  Washington banged out 13 hits on the afternoon.  

Steve Gromek(3-3) was the loser.  Washington knocked him around a bit, as he
gave up 7 runs in 5 and 1/3 innings.
