The start of the game was delayed more than two hours by rain in the San Diego area, and the game ended just before 3 a.m. Eastern Time Friday morning.

Doug Fister (2-2) was rocked for seven runs on eight hits in two innings of work for the Nats, who trailed 7-0 after two and were never really in the game thereafter.

Tyson Ross (2-3) got the win for the Padres, giving up two runs on five hits in five innings of work, striking out six and walking three.
