The Nats topped the Orioles 6-4 on Sunday afternoon to bounce back and win the weekend series. Mark (From Camden Yards) & Al throw all the flowers to Luis Garcia Jr., who has been red-hot lately.  Garcia went deep twice, roped a 2-run double, and collected 5 RBIs in the victory.  Washington is now back above .500 after winning both Saturday & Sunday.

(25:30) Mitchell Parker exited his relief appearance in pain and he possibly suffered an elbow injury.

(31:00) The Nats move their road trip to Fenway Park for a series that begins on Monday night. Washington currently trails St. Louis by two games for the final wildcard spot.
