Laynce Nix laced three singles and added a solo homer en route to a 4-for-4 performance in the Nationals' 11-5 loss to the Angels on Tuesday. That's the good news. The bad news is that he was forced to leave the game with tightness in his left Achilles. Nationals manager Davey Johnson stated that Nix will not play on Wednesday meaning he will have almost 72 hours to rest before Friday night's home game against the Pirates.
