Washington Topples Brooklyn, 4-3
Brooklyn wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Damon Rutherford, falling to the Washington Eagles, 4-3. Rutherford threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Charlie Tovar finished to wrap up his 2nd save. Washington, now 5-8, is off to a slow start.

Making an impact for the home team was Alberto Vinueza. In the bottom of the second, the 26-year old right-handed pitcher had a run-scoring ground out. That made the score 3-1, Eagles.

"We won," Vinueza told assembled media after the game. "I guess that's all that really matters."
