Baseball: Mets' Glavine wins No. 301 vs. Nationals

Glavine (11-6) beat the former Montreal Expos for the 33rd time, including the sixth time since the team moved to the nation's capital in 2005. He is 4-1 with a 2.09 ERA in six starts at RFK Stadium.
For that matter, the entire Mets team has grown to like the old ballpark, which is hosting baseball for the final season. New York is 18-5 at RFK and will improve to 7-0 in series if it wins one more game this weekend.
Damion Easley and Moises Alou homered off Nationals starter Matt Chico (5-7), Jose Reyes stole his 61st and 62nd bases, and Mike DiFelice hit his first triple in three years as the first-place Mets made sure they wouldn't lose ground in the NL East.
Glavine allowed eight hits, struck out six and walked one to move into sole possession of 21st place on the all-time majors win list, ahead of Lefty Grove and Early Wynn. Glavine has 2,555 career strikeouts, tying him with Tim Keefe for 27th.
