WASHINGTON, April 25 (UPI) -- Scott Olsen and two relievers teamed up for a seven-hit shutout Sunday, leading the Washington Nationals to a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Olsen (1-1) tossed seven scoreless innings, scattering six hits while fanning eight and walking only one. Tyler Clippard came on to hurl a scoreless eighth and Matt Capps allowed one hit in the ninth to earn his eighth save of the year as the Nats took the rubber match of the three-game series.
Nyjer Morgan collected a pair of hits and crossed the plate with Washington's only run as the Nationals finished a 10-game homestand with a 6-4 mark.
Chad Billingsley (1-1) was the hard luck loser, giving up only one run on four hits over six innings for the Dodgers, who got a pair of hits each from James Loney and Casey Blake.
Morgan opened the bottom of the first with a single, went to second when Billingsley walked Adam Kennedy and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Cristian Guzman. Morgan then scored when Adam Dunn grounded out.
