- Washington's pitching dominated throughout: starter Zack Littell held Arizona hitless until Pavin Smith's fifth-inning single, and three relievers combined to hold the Diamondbacks hitless over the final four innings.
- Diamondbacks first baseman LuJames Groover recorded his first major-league hit and RBI on a 103 mph liner in the fifth, reaching third base after a defensive error by Washington center fielder Jacob Young.
