WASHINGTON – Greg Dobbs’ RBI pinch-hit single in the ninth inning gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 1-0 win against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.

Dobbs picked up the game-winning RBI as a pinch hitter for reliever Tom Gordon. Dobbs has 10 pinch hits and nine RBIs in 22 at-bats this season.

Gordon (4-2) earned the win with a scoreless eighth. Brad Lidge pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 11 chances. Lidge walked two, but got Felipe Lopez to ground out with runners on first and third to end the game.

The hit also ended the 12-inning scoreless streak of Washington reliever Jon Rauch (2-1).

Dobbs’ hit kept Philadelphia from being shut out in consecutive games for the first time since Sept. 11-12, 1999, and kept the Phillies from their first four-game losing streak since Aug. 22-25, 2007.
