Lannan, Nationals Blank Cubbies 2-0



John Lannan hurled seven innings of four-hit, shutout ball as the Nationals downed the Cubs 2-0 in the rubber game of their three-game series at Nationals Park. Wil Nieves and Wily Mo Pena both swatted singles to collect an RBI apiece. Jon Rauch pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save. Ted Lilly suffered the loss, despite a strong outing, yielding just two runs on four hits in six innings. Lilly struck out seven, but still fell to 1-4 on the season. Reed Johnson, Kosuke Fukudome, Ronny Cedeno, and Henry Blanco accounted for the four Chicago hits.
