Gonzalez solid in win By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
Chris Young had a two-run single and Orlando Hudson added his first home run of the season to lead the D-backs over the Nats.

Dmitri Young, trying to follow up his performance on Wednesday vs. Florida, had a homer and a double against the D-backs. The Nats would come up short, though, as Jason Bergmann gave up three runs on 50 pitches in the first inning. He left after 3 2/3 innings while issuing six walks.
