Washington Loses A Good Ball Game
The Washington team falls 6 to 0 to Letts as Peck pitches well in his first game in two years. Letts builds a lead with a fifth inning rally and a fluky sixth homer, while Washington misses scoring chances in the third eighth and ninth. Jacobsen starred for Letts with solid defense and pitching, and the crowd saw a fair opening for the season despite poor weather.
