Commanders Pull Out Late Win, 6-5
The Washington Commanders defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 6-5, in National Conference action at Texas Stadium. Washington pitcher Carlos Martinez had a standout performance. Dave Gividen snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 1.1 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season. Earning his 9th save for Washington was Adam Aksamit.

Washington relied on the hitting of Kyle Weathersby to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Commanders on top, 6-5. For the game, Weathersby had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Weathersby told the Washington Today.

By defeating Dallas, the first-place Commanders improved to 21-12.
