HOUSTON, July 11 (UPI) -- Craig Stammen pitched his first career complete game Saturday and the Washington Nationals amassed 21 hits in a 13-2 rout of the Houston Astros.

Josh Willingham hit two homers with four RBI, Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn hit solo shots, Alberto Gonzalez had four hits and two RBI, Johnson had three hits and two RBI and Ronnie Belliard had two hits.

Stammen was one of three others with one RBI, while Dunn and Cristian Guzman had two hits apiece for the Nationals, who ended a four-game losing streak.

Stammen (2-4) surrendered nine hits in his best effort in the majors.

Houston's Lance Berkman and Michael Bourn had one RBI each. Geoff Blum and Kaz Matsui had two hits apiece for the Astros, who have split their last four games.

The losing pitcher was starter Mike Hampton (5-6). He went just 3 2/3 innings, surrendering five runs on nine hits with one walk and one strikeout.
