Nats Fry Friars

"It's good." (Ramon Ortiz, via Washington Post, 8/5/2006)

Nationals 6, Padres 2: Nats get revenge against Chris Young, Padres, for embarrassing them in front of the Prez back in July. (Actually, they embarrassed themselves that night, didn't they?)

Frank's Freakout Fires up Ortiz. Funny stuff. Why'd you do it Frank? "To get on his !@#* a little bit, get him back in the strike zone...Sometimes, that's what it takes -- a little jolt." Ortiz survives for his 8th win.

Zimmerman, Felipe Kearns (4-8, HR, 2B, 2RBI, 3R) carry the day offensively.

Another assist (17) for Soriano.
