Shorthanded Nationals do just enough to sweep the Orioles

Suero recorded four outs and, in the seventh, gave up a run on a double, a wild pitch and an RBI groundout by Trey Mancini. But Hudson and Hand kept the Orioles right there. Hudson tossed a one-two-three eighth that included a 99-mph fastball for a looking strikeout. His ERA dipped to 1.06 in 17 innings. Then Hand, the unsteady closer, yielded a leadoff single to Stevie Wilkerson, putting the tying run on, before the Nationals intentionally walked Mancini and Hand shut the door, striking out Anthony Santander with four high fastballs.
