 WASHINGTON (AP) - The message written in orange on the grease board outside the Washington Nationals' clubhouse reminded everyone about Wednesday's team photo. It turns out everyone is still in the picture.
Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline came and went without any moves by rebuilding Washington, a franchise headed for a fourth consecutive last-place finish. Then the Nationals went out and beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 with the help of Ryan Zimmerman's three-run double and second baseman Ronnie Belliard's highlight-ready assist.
Washington entered the day at 45-60 and Cincinnati at 45-61 — only Pittsburgh (42-61) was worse in the NL — but neither club made any deals Tuesday.
