Ken Keltner launched 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Washington Nationals beat
the Boston Red Sox by a score of 14 to 5.

Keltner had a great day at the plate.  He doubled plating two runs in the 1st
inning, cracked a solo homerun in the 5th inning and belted a three-run homer
in the 8th inning.  Overall Washington out-hit Boston 19 to 8.  

Joe Coleman(2-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 and 2/3 innings and
allowing 4 runs. Johnny Sain(7-2) absorbed the loss.  He allowed 3 homeruns
in 5 and 2/3 innings of work.  

'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Keltner said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting
you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'
