Eight Straight
Brian Schneider drove in the go-ahead runs during a six-run eighth inning to lift the Washington Nationals over the Seattle Mariners, 9-3.
Brian Schneider drove in the go-ahead runs during a six-run eighth inning to lift the Washington Nationals over Seattle, 9-3, in the opener of a three-game series at RFK Stadium. The Nationals, who lead the pack in the National League East, have won eight straight and 11 of their last 12 games. Junior Spivey wasn't even in the ballpark when the game started, but arrived in time to score two key runs for the Nationals. Spivey entered the game as a pinch runner in the seventh inning and scored from third when Marlon Byrd grounded out to tie the game at 3-3. Spivey was acquired earlier on Friday from Milwaukee in exchange for pitcher Tomo Ohka. He arrived by train from Philadelphia in the second inning. Spivey made his way around the dugout shaking hands with his new teammates before entering the game. He played second base and walked during the decisive eighth.

Allenby leads Booz Allen Classic
Robert Allenby shot a six-under 65 to take the lead after the second round of the Booz Allen Classic.
Bethesda, MD (Sports Network) - Robert Allenby shot a six-under 65 to take the lead after the second round of the Booz Allen Classic on Friday. Allenby's 36- hole total of nine-under-par 133 left him two shots clear of his closest challengers.
Defending champion Adam Scott carded a four-under 67 on Congressional Country Club's Blue Course to join first-round leader Matt Gogel, Lee Westwood and Steve Elkington in a tie for second place at seven-under-par 135.
Allenby picked up a quick birdie at the par-three second and played his second shot to three feet for a birdie at the par-four third. At the par-four fifth, Allenby hit a wedge to eight feet and converted the birdie try to reach six- under.
The Australian added a birdie at the par-five sixth, but he gave that shot back with a bogey at the par-five ninth. Allenby recovered at the par-four 11th and dropped a wedge inside six feet for a birdie.
Allenby hit an eight-iron inside 10 feet for a birdie at the par-four 14th to move to minus-eight. He continued his fine play down the stretch and drained another 10-foot putt for a birdie at the par-four 16th.
"I haven't been hitting the ball that bad, but I just haven't been putting or chipping very well," said Allenby, who has experience inflammation in his hands this season. "After the U.S. Open, I'm going to do an allergy test. So hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it soon."
