Hit a shallow fly ball to center field in his second plate appearance, then jogged back to the dugout and learned his work was done. Three innings in the field, successfully caught three throws from infielders. 0-for-1 at the plate with a HBP.

Meanwhile, Lastings Milledge, Wily Mo Pena and Elijah Dukes just put on a show in the top of the fourth. Milledge singled to left, stole second, stole third (without a throw) and then scored on Alex Escobar's sacrifice fly. Dukes followed by smoking a double to right-center, and Pena (who had been hit by a pitch) came barrelling around third. Slid in hard to the plate and appeared to possibly beat the throw but was called out by plate umpire Todd Tichenor.

Bottom of the fourth now, Nats lead 1-0. Mock on the mound for his second ining of relief. Josh Whitesell in at first base.
