2005 – Washington erased a four-run deficit and the bullpen did the rest. Carlos Baerga’s go-ahead single in the eighth inning gave the Washington Nationals (64-57) a 5-4 victory and a split of doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies (65-57). Luis Ayala (8-6) earned the win and Chad Cordero pitched the final 1 2-3 innings for his 39th save.
2006 – Alfonso Soriano and Ryan Zimmerman lead the way as Washington Nationals (54-68) went on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies (59-62) 6-4. Alfonso Soriano was 4-for-6, led off the game with his 39th homer and stole his 30th base in the second inning and Ryan Zimmerman went deep and drove in a career-best five runs.
