Loaiza struck out 11 and took a shutout into the eighth on short rest, and Preston Wilson and Brian Schneider each hit a three-run homer as Washington gained a game on all three teams it trails in the NL wild-card standings.

2006Ramon Ortiz came within three outs of pitching the Nationals first no-hitter since the team moved from Montreal to Washington D.C. in 2005. The Washington Nationals (60-77) went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals (73-63) 4-1.

2010John Lannan allowed only one run for the second consecutive start, Ivan Rodriguez had three hits and four RBIs and the Washington Nationals (58-78) broke a three-game losing streak with a 9-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates (45-90).

Desmond, Jesus Flores, Tyler Moore and Ryan Zimmerman also went deep for the Nats. The six home runs matched a team record. The other time the Nats hit six home runs was on May 20, 2011, in Baltimore.
