Pitcher Daniel Cabrera gets first his hit
Daniel Cabrera was happy with the way he pitched Thursday for the Washington Nationals in a 6-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
It was his hitting that made him giddy.
Cabrera, who struck out 14 times with the Baltimore Orioles over the past five seasons, singled to right in his first spring training at-bat with Washington.
The right-hander sent the ball into right field with an awkward swing and almost fell as he loped to first base. Cabrera then scored on a two-run double by teammate Ryan Zimmerman, nearly getting run over by Lastings Milledge, who was scoring behind him.
Cabrera pitched, too. He faced only 10 batters in his first three scoreless innings, but left with two outs in the fourth after issuing his only walk. He was charged with two runs.
