Shairon Martis pitched well enough to put himself in line for the first Washington win tonight. He only struck out one in his 6 1/3 innings, but gave up just four singles and a double. Now he needs to depend on the Nationals bullpen. The Nationals lead Philadelphia 4-2 in the eighth. Newstex ID: BASE-0001-34197070
