Bob Porterfield pitched a complete game shutout as the Cincinnati Reds beat the league door-mat Washington Nationals by a score of 2 to 0. Porterfield(11-4) pitched a fine game. He went 9 innings allowing 11 hits and 2 walks seeing his ERA drop from 3.76 to 3.53. Washington made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. The losing pitcher was Bob Rush(6-12). 'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Porterfield, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
