With this win, the Nats moved to 1.0 game of .500, and moved into a 3rd place tie with the Phillies in the NL East. <\/p>\n<p>There are many contributing players in this win, and a special shoutout to Gus Varland for his first career save. Of note, Ken Waldichuk sustained a forearm injury and had to be removed from the game.
