Ryan Zimmerman's career-long knack for game-ending homers trumped Andrew Miller's season-long ability to avoid allowing opponents to score.

Bryce Harper hit one of Washington's three solo shots, giving him an NL-high 15 homers this season, as the Nationals improved to 13-4 in May. After being 7-13 and eight games out of first place on April 27, they have moved to 23-17, even with the New York Mets in their division.
