 WASHINGTON (AP) - Jeffrey Hammonds singled home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Washington Nationals a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.
Hammonds, in an 0-for-13 slump entering the game, took advantage of a rare start to go 2-for-4, winning the game when he pulled a grounder down the third-base line with the bases loaded and the infield in.
Chris Capuano (3-3) hit Wilkerson on the right shoulder with a 1-2 pitch in the ninth, and Jamey Carroll bunted Wilkerson to second. Milwaukee manager Ned Yost then pulled Capuano and brought in Mike Adams to face Vinny Castilla, who hit a weak dribbler that turned into a hit when third baseman Russell Branyan tried and failed to barehand the ball.
