Nationals 2, Reds 0: 3-game losing skid, snapped. Mock tosses six shutout innings, Interim Jim lets him work through big jams in 5th and 6th.
Make that: 2 career HRs for Wil Nieves. Who? Wil Nieves! Nats remain undefeated when Nieves homers, dating back to 2008. Hopefully this doesn't mean we'll be subjected to another one of those Wil Nieves Defining Moments ads on MASN.

First Down: A wait problem in the Strasburg saga
In Strasburg saga, a wait problem It has been nearly 10 weeks since the Washington Nationals selected Stephen Strasburg with the No. 1 pick in baseball's amateur draft.
