BALTIMORE, June 12 (UPI) -- Ryan Zimmerman and Brian Schneider each hit two-run homers Tuesday as the Washington Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-4.

Miguel Tejada's leadoff homer in the ninth off Jesus Colome brought Baltimore within three runs. However, with the tying run at the plate, Chad Cordero got Paul Bako to hit into a game-ending double play for his ninth save of the season and the 100th of his career.
