Senators Double Up Baltimore, 4-2
Washington turned a good effort from starter John Burkett into a win over the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium. The final score was 4-2. Burkett got the win, improving to 4-1. He allowed 6 hits and walked 1 over 8 innings. Burkett allowed 2 earned runs. Earning his 10th save for Washington was Troy Percival.

Washington third baseman Freddy F Garcia contributed to the cause with a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth. For the game, Garcia went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Burkett.

The Senators, now 20-7, have hit the ground running this season.
