Tigers Fall Short, 3-2, at Washington
In a low-scoring clash between Washington and Detroit, pitcher Javier Vazquez was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned player of the game honors for Washington in the 3-2 win. Troy Percival got the save, the 5th for him this season. Washington is off to a hot start at 9-1.

The Senators beat the Tigers with some clutch hitting. The single by Bengie Molina in the bottom of the second is a good example. With two down, Molina gave his team the lead, 2-0, when he came through with the big hit.

Molina said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
