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.

From front to back, the 2-0 victory bore all the hallmarks of their extraordinary season. Any lingering doubts about whether Leicester could go the distance were blown away at the Stadium of Light. An emotional Claudio Ranieri left the pitch to chants of were going to win the league from the buoyant travelling fans, and it is now difficult to imagine any other outcome.How fitting that such a significant victory should arrive in this style. Leicester showed the patience and organisation that has typified their recent run of narrow victories for just over an hour in the north east, and when the hosts began pushing forward for a winning goal, the Foxes simply picked them off on the break. Jamie Vardys goals were classic Leicester. His opener - which made him the clubs first player since Gary Lineker to score 20 goals in a top flight season - came after Danny Drinkwater received a Robert Huth header deep in his own half with his back to goal. Jamie Vardy finishes Leicesters opening goal against Sunderland It looked like an innocuous position, but the midfielder turned Lee Cattermole with two quick touches and immediately sighted Vardy, who had taken up his usual position in the outside-left channel. Suddenly, Sunderland were vulnerable. Drinkwaters pass was perfect, and Younes Kaboul couldnt get close as Vardy angled his run inside and finished clinically with his right foot.Simple but devastatingly effective counter-attacking. It was Leicester all over, and Vardys second left Sunderland with a feeling of deja-vu. This time it was substitute Demarai Gray who made it, plucking Daniel Amarteys clearance out of the sky and sliding the ball forward, where Vardy had only one thing on his mind. Claudio Ranieri speaks to Sky Sports after Leicesters latest victory The 29-year-old outmuscled and outpaced Patrick van Aanholt to break free on goal, and he kept a cool head to round Vitto Mannone and finish into Sunderlands empty net.ddddddddddddYou leave space in behind and they will kill you for it, said Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports studio. These were the kind of goals Leicester have been scoring all season.Leicester are brilliant at what they do, added Carragher. Early on in the game Sunderland couldnt get out of their own half because they defended so deep to counteract Vardys pace, but as soon as you step up that pitch youre just asking for trouble.Vardy wasnt the only Leicester player to fulfil his duties to perfection. In midfield, they were boosted by another exceptional performance from NGolo Kante. The Frenchman was the smallest player on the pitch at just over 5ft 6ins, but he dominated the centre of the park in towering style. NGolo Kante was in fine form for Leicester against Sunderland Just days after Ranieri commented that the midfielder plays like he has a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts, Kante delivered a typically industrious display, covering more ground (11.86km) and making more high-intensity sprints (71) than anyone else on the pitch.Kante was everywhere, popping up on the flanks, contributing in attack and defence and driving Leicester on as he has done all year. The 25-year-old ranked first for tackles (seven) and interceptions (four) at the Stadium of Light, and he also posted the second-highest passing accuracy of players to have started the game with 85.7 per cent. Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy celebrate after the final whistle He provided a perfect shield for a back five whose collective understanding is strengthening with every passing week. Leicesters defensive organisation has become more and more prominent in the second half of the campaign, and with the exception of Jack Rodwells gilt-edged chance in the closing stages, Sunderland were largely nullified.Kasper Schmeichel saved their only shot on target - a deflected effort from Fabio Borini in the first half - and Leicester held firm to keep their 13th clean sheet in the 23 games in which they have started with a back four of Danny Simpson, Huth, Wes Morgan and Christian Fuchs. Leicesters togetherness was epitomised by Marc Albrightons hard-working display on the left-hand side, and there were similarly tireless shifts from Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez.To a man, Leicester simply did exactly what was required. They are the most cohesive and effective unit in the Premier League, and with just five games of the season remaining, its starting to feel like a question of when and not if they finish the job. It is there on the table, said Ranieri, and now we have to take it.
