D'backs 2, Nationals 0
PHOENIX — Joe Saunders escaped two early jams to pitch seven innings for the Diamondbacks. Stephen Drew and Xavier Nady drove in runs with extra-base hits off Livan Hernandez, more than enough for Saunders, who retired the final 14 batters and held the Nationals to two hits a night after Josh Collmenter limited them to three in seven innings. Washington was shut out in consecutive games for the second time in a month.
