Senators Score Late, Stun Blue Jays, 4-2
Washington rode a decent outing from starter Jim Neidlinger to victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at SkyDome. The final score was 4-2. Washington, now 7-3, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Washington used the timely hitting of Jon Nunnally to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Senators ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was an important one.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Neidlinger.
