Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Chalk up another tight victory for the Nationals. cheap jerseys from china . Washington took advantage of a throwing error and scored three times in the opening inning, and held off the Chicago Cubs, 3-2. Each of Washingtons last nine victories has come by either one run or in extra innings. Ross Detwiler pitched into the sixth inning to get the win in his first appearance of the season. Detwiler (1-0) allowed four hits and a pair of runs over 5 1/3 frames. Drew Storen worked around a one-out single to Marlon Byrd in the ninth and recorded his 21st save. Its a winning atmosphere here now, Detwiler said. A couple of year ago, I dont think people came here not to win, but it really wasnt in the atmosphere. There was a lot of losing going on, but you can tell its been a complete turnaround here. The Nationals, winners of the first two games of this series, have gone 12-3 in games decided by the minimum dating to June 1. That includes Mondays 5-4 win in 10 innings. This was their eighth consecutive one-run victory at Nationals Park. Ramon Ortiz, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa to make his season debut, allowed three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits and fanned seven over six innings. Ortiz (0-1) made two starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. He was throwing strikes from the get-go, Cubs manager Mike Quade said. It wasnt like he was walking people and struggling. He hung in there really, really well. Aramis Ramirez belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning for the Cubs, losers in four of their last five contests. The homer to left by Ramirez, his 13th of the year, plated Reed Johnson. He doubled to start the sixth. Geovany Soto doubled with one out, but was left stranded there by reliever Todd Coffey. Pinch-hitter Tony Campana bunted for a hit in the seventh and stole second, but Tyler Clippard fanned Johnson to end the threat. The Nationals wasted a chance with two men in scoring position in the eighth, and after Byrd singled in the ninth first baseman Alex Cora dropped what should have been an inning-ending double play. Instead, Carlos Pena was safe at first. Darwin Barney grounded out to end the game. There was trouble right from the start for Ortiz, who gave up singles to Roger Bernadina, Danny Espinosa and Ryan Zimmerman to begin the first. Laynce Nix then hit a ball to second baseman Jeff Baker for what should have been a double play, but his throw was high to second base and two runs scored. Rick Ankiel walked with one out to load the bases, leading to Wilson Ramos infield single, a ball that was knocked down by Ramirez at third. Despite the positive stretch, Nats manager Davey Johnson was critical of his teams offense. Were not getting the clutch base hit, he said. We hit some balls hard tonight. That was great, but the wild throw to second gives us two runs. I know were a lot better than that. GAME NOTES:Baker left the game in the third inning with lower back spasms...Along with selecting the contract of Ortiz on Tuesday, the Cubs made a number of roster moves. They recalled pitcher Chris Carpenter, optioned pitcher Casey Coleman to Iowa and placed pitcher Marcos Mateo on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness...First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, were at the game as part of an initiative to support the military and its families. nfl jerseys china . -- Lindsey Vonn squeezed in a little freeskiing on Thanksgiving morning, a step in the right direction for a return to racing after reinjuring her right knee in a recent training crash. wholesale nfl jerseys .

Flood, with 60 caps since 2006 including two Rugby World Cups, was axed on Thursday when Lancaster named his squad for the Six Nations starting on Feb. 1. Flood has decided to leave English champion Leicester, which he captains, for Toulouse after the season. "I have met Toby several times and told him I really wanted him to stay at Leicester and play for England," Lancaster said. "He has made a lifestyle choice and we respect that, but given the RFUs policy of not selecting players based overseas save for exceptional circumstances it was important that we allow others such as George Ford to progress." The uncapped Ford, from Bath, was called up in Floods place, third in the flyhalves pecking order behind Owen Farrell and Freddie Burns. Ford, who has graduated through national age-group sides, was the youngest player to make his pro debut in the Premiership at 16 in 2009, and was the world young player of the yyear in 2011. cheap nfl jerseys.
