NEW YORK | Willie Harris' diving catch in the ninth inning saved Washington, and the slick-fielding Nationals beat New York behind Jason Bergmann's fantastic pitching performance.

Washington won an unlikely duel between Bergmann and Mike Pelfrey, who carried a no-hit bid into the seventh. Harris' bunt set up Felipe Lopez's sacrifice fly in the eighth, helping the Nationals take three of four at Shea Stadium.

Pedro Feliz and Shane Victorino each homered and drove in two runs for the Phillies, who lead the major leagues with 59 home runs. The Florida Marlins have hit 58, but their game against Cincinnati was rained out. Because of the postponement, the Phillies also moved within a game of the Marlins for the top spot in the NL East.
