Alexander Spins 2-0 Shutout Against Denver
Dave Alexander kept the Denver Burros hitters from doing much damage at Monument Field.

Denver could only muster 5 hits and draw 1 walk against the right-handed Alexander, who controlled them throughout the game. Washington won the contest, 2-0. Alexander added 4 strikeouts in his complete-game effort.

"I don't know if I was on or if they were off today," Alexander told reporters after the shutout win. "But whatever it was, I hope it happens again next time."

So far this year, Alexander has 4 wins and 5 losses and a 3.91 ERA.
