Nationals Park was the site of a competitive game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Washington Nationals.

The Washington Nationals picked up a win at Nationals Park, knocking off the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-1. On the mound for Washington was right-hander Corey Kluber, who played a pivotal role in the win. Joakim Soria was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 14 of 17 save opportunities.

Andrew Benintendi had a big run-scoring single for the Nationals in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Washington leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a changeup from Jake Arrieta and stroked the single to center. It was his 72nd hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Nationals ahead, 2-0.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Kluber said.

The Nationals bumped their record to 37-24 with this latest triumph.
