"I didn't have my best stuff tonight, but I worked around it andcame away with the win," Correia said.

"It was all about Kevin Correia and the bullpen," Giants managerBruce Bochy said. "We got a few key hits and a few goodbounces. That's baseball."


San Francisco used a three-run second inning to erase a deficitand take the lead.


With the Giants trailing, 1-0, Pedro Feliz led off with a doubleand Omar Vizquel walked. One out later, Ortmeier lined a basehit to right field to tie the game.


Three batters later, Davis hammered a pitch from Washingtonstarter Tim Redding down the third base line, plating two for a3-1 advantage.


"I just got the hit past (Nationals third baseman Ryan)Zimmerman and it worked out for us," Davis said. "We scored andheld on to win the game."


Redding (3-5) allowed three runs, five hits and five walks infive innings.


"Five walks is a poor performance on my part," Redding said."Not throwing strikes, walking too many hitters and blowing anearly lead was the reason why we lost tonight's game".

The righthander, who struck out one, is 0-4 lifetime vs. theGiants.


"Tim labored for five innings and couldn't throw strikes,"Nationals manager Manny Acta said. "It is what it is".
