Although held to only two hits, the Senators were able to beat the Brewers, 2-0. With President Nixon in attendance, the Nats counted an unearned run in the first inning on a single by Tim Cullen, pass to Frank Howard and wild pickoff throw by catcher Phil Roof. Howard homered for the other run in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
