The Washington Senators downed the Detroit Tigers, 9-3, at RFK Stadium. Alex Rodriguez led the way, going 2-for-3 for Washington. Livan Hernandez picked up the win, improving his season record to 10-4. He struck out 8 in 7 innings. Todd Jones was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 4 of 7 save opportunities.

Contributing to the Washington win was Albert Belle. In the bottom of the eighth, the slugging left fielder had a 3-run home run. That made the score 9-3, the Senators in front.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Belle.

Washington leads the United League East Division by 4½ games.
