Ryan Zimmerman is in position to tie the Washington Nationals' franchise record for longest hitting streak. 

Pablo Sandoval says he had never hit a game-ending homer at any point in his baseball journey from northern Venezuela to San Francisco. 

Pablo Sandoval slugged a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth, ending the San Francisco Giants' wild 9-7 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. 

Adam Dunn would have been open to negotiating with theGiants over the winter, but he said they didn't express interest. 

Playing the Nationals is good times. 

--RHP Brian Wilson responded to Dodgers 3B Casey Blake, who homered off Wilson in the 12th inning Sunday and after the inning mocked the closer's crossed-arm gesture. 

--2B Emmanuel Burriss is the new leadoff hitter, and LF Fred Lewis was dropped to seventh. 

Randy Johnson won his 298th career game on Monday, an 11-7 victory over the Nationals. 

SanFranciscoGiants closer Brian Wilson said he wouldn't forget that Casey Blake mocked the cross-armed gesture he makes after every save as a tribute to his faith and deceased father. 

For a guy that entered this season a career . 

While Randy Johnson closes in on a major pitching milestone, he's a bit worried about challenging another San Francisco great's achievements along the way. 

Randy Johnson struck out nine in his 298th career victory, and Randy Winn had three hits and scored three runs in the San Francisco Giants' 11-7 win over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.
