WASHINGTON -- Wade Miley gave Arizona a chance by repeatedly working out of trouble. Third baseman Jordan Pacheco threw it all away in the ninth. Pachecos throwing error allowed Denard Span to score the winning run in Washingtons 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. "I guess some losses are a little more difficult," first baseman Mark Trumbo said. "I think we battled as well as we could. Just didnt have too much offence to show for it. But our pitching staff did a great job." Arizona dropped the last six games of a 1-7 road trip. Eight of the Diamondbacks last 10 games have been decided by one run. Rafael Soriano (4-1) pitched a scoreless ninth as Washington stretched its winning streak to 10, matching the franchise record. Five of Washingtons last six wins have come in its final at-bat of the game. "Its not how you plan it," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. Washingtons ninth hit was a one-out single for Span against Oliver Perez (2-3). Evan Marshall then came in and Span swiped second. Anthony Rendon followed with a chopper to third. Pachecos throw bounced off the dirt and into the first-base camera well, and Span was awarded home. "To end it like that, thats definitely my fault," Pacheco said. "Thats a horrible way to lose." Miley pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings despite allowing eight hits and walking a season-high six batters. "It was a battle," Miley said. "I mean, those guys did a great job. They were laying off some pretty good pitches. "I feel like it was bases loaded, one out every inning. Just trying to make pitches, and I was fortunate enough to get a couple ground balls." Miley retired Adam LaRoche three times to end an inning -- twice on double plays -- before walking him to load the bases with two out in the seventh. Matt Stites got Wilson Ramos to fly out to right to end the threat. The Nationals went 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Arizonas best chance came in the third, when Mileys sacrifice put runners on second and third with one out, but Ender Inciarte lined to shortstop and Cliff Pennington flied out. Pennington also popped out with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. Gio Gonzalez pitched seven innings for Washington. He allowed four hits and walked three while lowering his career ERA against Arizona to 1.33 in three starts. TRAINERS ROOM Nationals: INF/OF Ryan Zimmerman (right hamstring strain) threw on the field for the first time since going on the disabled list July 23. There is no specific timetable for his return. "You have to use that muscle to throw," Williams said. "Its part of the strengthening process." ... OF Nate McLouth was scheduled to have season-ending shoulder surgery Thursday, Williams said. Diamondbacks: INF Chris Owings (left shoulder strain) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Friday after going 4 for 7 in three games with Arizonas rookie league club. ... OF A.J.

It was a long-awaited rematch for Xavier, (20-9, 10-6), which lost one of the Big Easts most wide-open games at Creighton in January. Martin led the way. The junior guard helped Xavier control the tempo and build a 13-point lead early in the second half that was more than enough. Creighton (23-5, 13-3) couldnt catch up despite 27 points by Doug McDermott, who leads the nation in scoring. McDermott had 35 points during the Bluejays 95-89 win at home on Jan. 12, a game that showed the reconfigured Big East was a whole different conference. Xavier had more going for it in the rematch. Semaj Christon scored 21 points, Dee Davis added 15, and the Musketeers shot 50 per cent from the field. Xavier got its first victory over a Top 10 team since it beat No. 8 Indiana 80-65 on Nov. 24, 2007. Right after their loss at Creighton in January, several Musketeers said they couldnt wait for the rematch. Xavier sold standing-room tickets for the first time in the Cintas Centers 14 seasons, resulting in a record crowd of 10,483. Xavier led for most of the first half, pushing the lead to six points on several occasions. The Musketeers built it to double-digits with a seven-point run that featured Davis 3-pointer and a pair of baskets by Christon, making it 41-30 with 2:22 left in the half. The Mussketeers took a 43-34 lead into halftime despite not shooting a free throw.dddddddddddd Instead, the Musketeers shot 57.6 per cent from the field and went 5 of 6 from beyond the arc. Martin led the way, getting nine points and matching his career high with 12 rebounds. Martin came out aggressive again to start the second half. He hit a pair of 3s and Xaviers first two free throws for a 54-42 lead with 15:49 left. At that point, Xavier was 8 of 10 from beyond the arc, with Creighton more concerned about stopping drives to the basket. Christon fell down while nearly getting a steal, got up and swiped Creightons next pass and was fouled as he headed for the basket, bringing the crowd to its feet. His free throw gave Xavier a 13-point lead. Creighton couldnt make any headway as Xavier controlled the boards and pushed the pace for layups. McDermott scored 11 points in the first 7 minutes of the half, but nobody else hit any shots consistently. Xavier finally hit a cold spell, and Creighton took advantage with a 10-2 spurt. McDermotts fall-away 3-pointer cut it to 61-58 with 5:18 to go, prompting a Xavier timeout. Davis made an uncontested 3, and Jalen Reynolds drove for a lay-in that rebuilt the lead to 68-60. Creighton never got closer than five points the rest of the way. Creighton redshirt freshman guard Isaiah Zierden went down hard on a fast-break play in the first half and hurt his right knee. He was on crutches in the second half with ice wrapped on the knee. Zierden averages 11 minutes and 3.3 points.
