Game 10, Diamondbacks at Nationals, Home Opener

Vinny Castilla doubled, tripled and homered to lead the Washington Nationals to a 5-3 victory over Arizona on Thursday and into first place in the NL East. Nats starter Livan Hernandez was brilliant through the first eight innings, shutting out what had been a productive D-backs offense up to this point in the year. Chad Cordero got the final two outs in relief of a tired Hernandez in the ninth for his second save.

The two teams take a break on Friday before resuming the series on Saturday.
