Jason Berken (1-1) grabbed the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings as four relievers combined to throw five shutout frames for the Orioles, who improved to 6-11 in interleague play. Alfredo Simon closed the door in the ninth inning by retiring the side in order to earn his eighth save.
Sean Burnett (0-4) took the loss after allowing the decisive run on one hit and a walk in two thirds of an inning for the slumping Nationals, who have dropped three in a row and nine out of their last 11.
