Livan Hernandez pitched a complete game four-hit shutout that helped secure another win for the surging Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on Saturday. The masterful Hernandez was backed by eight runs and ten hits from what had been a slumping lineup. While Adam Dunn continued to struggle at the plate (going 0-4), Cristian Guzman, Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond, Josh Willingham and Ivan Rodriguez all contributed, combining for a total of nine hits on the day. The biggest blast of the day came off the bat of Justin Maxwell, who drove in three runs. But the story of the game was Hernandez. The aging but wily righty faced 33 Milwaukee batters, throwing 112 pitches — 66 of them for strikes. The Nats’ ace was never in danger, with the heart of the Brewers’ line-up accounting for only three hits in 16 at-bats. The 8-0 drubbing of The Crew put the Nationals one game over .500 — at 6-5. The Nats go for the series sweep tomorrow at Nationals Park — before weighing in against the Colorado Rockies.
