WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers returned to the formula that has served them so well lately. The pitchers were stingy, and Nomar Garciaparra got another clutch hit.Wouldn't happen to need any of that on the north side of Chicago these days.

The game was tied 1-1 when Hill left, but the Dodgers put together a rally in the eighth against relievers Mike Stanton (1-5) and Gary Majewski.
Rafael Furcal, who went 3-for-5, led off the inning with a one-hopper off Stanton that ate up third baseman Ryan Zimmerman for a single. Kenny Lofton bunted and beat a high throw to first for a hit. Majewski replaced Stanton, and Garciaparra, raising his average to .432 with runners in scoring position, lined a single to left to score Furcal.
Asked if he could explain Garciaparra's clutch hitting, manager Grady Little said: "No, and I'm not going to try to, either. I just want him to keep it up. He's as good as I've ever seen him."
Right Andy? Jim?
