Reds Drop Nationals, 4-0
The Cincinnati Reds got a stellar performance from pitcher Chris Sale, who handcuffed the Washington offense en route to a win, 4-0, at Nationals Park. The win for the Reds lifted their record to 62-56.

Cincinnati took a 4-0 lead on Leury Garcia's 6th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Garcia hit in the top of the eighth, left Washington pitcher Robbie McJannett visibly frustrated.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Garcia.
