News
Odalis Perez used his hitting to help him earn his first win of the season. Making his ninth start without a victory, Perez had three hits and two RBI and pitched into the seventh inning to lead the Washington Nationals past the New York Mets 10-4 on Monday night. Making his 200th career start, Perez (1-3) gave up a season-high 11 hits and four runs -- more than two runs for only the third time -- but Washington scored at least four runs in one of his starts for only the second time this year. Perez left with one out in the seventh after giving up David Wright's seventh homer and Carlos Beltran's single. He made a slow walk to the dugout, without a hint of a smile and rubbing his cold hands together. He struck out five and walked three.

"I don't know what's happening right now," Colome said. "Right now, I'm walking too many. The last couple of times in the game, I'm missing with fastballs. I'm missing my spots."

The Sports Xchange reports that Nationals 1B Dmitri Young will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg (Pa.) on Tuesday.

There's no set timetable for his return from the 15-day DL, but he could be available to serve as DH for Washington's interleague games at Baltimore May 16-18. "His performance will dictate how quickly he gets back up here," GM Jim Bowden said. "He's doing extremely well."

Everything we're doing right now is to make sure it's getting stronger, stretching out and nothing else gets worse."
