From THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Washington Nationals came from behind yet again last night. So what else is new? This time it was catcher Brian Schneider's turn to get RFK Stadium rocking and rolling as the team rallied for the 24th time in this astonishing season. Schneider stroked a two-run single in the eighth inning that snapped a tie game and ignited a late-game explosion as the Nationals won their eighth straight 9-3 over the Seattle Mariners before 28,704.
With the win the Nationals (35-26) maintained their grip on first place in the National League East, improved to 10-1 on this current 13-game homestand, have won 11 of their last 12 and are a major league-best 22-9 at home.
"This is kind of what I would say is an amazing streak, but the club doesn't amaze me because they showed early on that they have the desire, the heart and we hung in there in close ball games, but this has been kind of an unbelievable roll that we're on right now and who knows when it's going to end," Nationals manager Frank Robinson said.
