Washington and Baltimore left the crowd in suspense until the final out.

Washington left-hander Nestor Cortes helped his team edge Baltimore by the score of 2-1. Cortes kept the opposing lineup in check. Adam Morgan, now 3-2, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2.2 innings.

Matt Beaty had the most critical at-bat for Washington. With one in the top of the 14th inning, Beaty hit a 1-1 slider from Javier Guerra for a run-scoring single. It put Washington in front, 2-1.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Washington manager Maurice Hamilton.

Baltimore has now lost 5 consecutive games.
