Jake Irwin played eight scorer innings and James Wood on Saturday scored a two-run domestic run to win the Washington citizens 3–0 on the San Francisco veterans.
Irwin (4–1) allowed three hits, while exiting seven and two walking on 96 pitches. He retired nine straight veterans before a two-out walk for Mike Yastrzameski in the eighth, but bounted the Heliot Ramos to exclude.
Keebert Ruiz added two hits to Washington, who won six out of seven.
George Lopez started the ninth innings for his first savings. Right Fielder Delen Lil, who started his leading league on Friday, finished the game with diving catch on Matt Chapman’s Bloper.
Kyle Harrison (0–1), making the first start of this season in place of the injured Justin Verlander, gave two runs on five hits in four innings. He hit four without walking.
Tyler Fitzgerald had two out of three hits for veterans, who lost three out of five.
The Amaid Rosario doubled with one for Washington and Wood waited at 0-1 curveball before pulling into the National Bulpen to take a 2–0 lead. It was the 13th Homer for Wood, killing .400 (10 -for -25) in its last 10 matches.
The first two giants reached the fourth innings and reached an error by Irwin, but Chapman entered a double play and killed by Willie Adams.
Washington found a pair of an-out singles at the bottom of the fourth by Ruiz and Alex Call, but Harrison retired Louis Garcia, Junior and LIL on ground out.
Garcia sang with one in the seventh and ran third from LIL’s single to the right. With Infield Inn, Robert Hassel III hit a slow roller for the mound and the only drama of Triston Beck was first because Garcia made it 3–0.
