If you believe what you read on Wikipedia, the Washington Nationals are 3-0 when donning the guise of their historically-based alter egos, the Homestead Grays...I for one am still not so sure about wikipedia.org, so I went back and checked the facts...(ed. note - "Which were all correct at wikipedia.")

6/2/06 - The Washington Nationals first wore the old Grays' uniforms on June 2nd, 2006 for a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, who wore the duds of the 1923 Milwaukee Bears, as Grays' right-hander Ramon Ortiz beats the Bears' Dana Eveland by a score of 10-4 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Miller Park with the help of 2 doubles by Gray's first baseman Nick Johnson, 3 RBI's for catcher Brian Schneider, and 2 RBI's for Jose Vidro.

8/11/06 - The Homestead Grays took their show on the road for their second game of 2006, traveling to Flushing, Queens, New York's Shea Stadium to take on the New York Cubans. Grays' lefty Billy Traber pitched a gem that night against Cubans' lefty Tom Glavine for a 2-1 Homestead victory in a game that was decided by two runs off the bat of Grays' catcher Brian Schneider. 

8/3/07 - The Homestead Grays welcomed the St. Louis Stars to RFK Stadium in a game that ended up a pitching duel between Grays' righty Tim Redding and the Stars' right-hander Kip Wells, and wasn't decided until Ryan Zimmerman came up with one down in a 2-2 game in the bottom of the ninth and hit one of his trademark "walk-off" winners through short for a run-scoring single that gave the Grays a 3-2 win and a (3-0) record in their old-timey throwbacks...

The Pittsburgh Pirates have laid their own claim to the Homestead Grays' past, and rightly so, as the franchises' roots start in Germantown, PA, where the Blue Ribbons were born in 1900, and ten years later were christened the Murdock Grays, a name which lasted all of two years and was then changed to the name that would stick for good to this traveling team, the Homestead Grays, who joined the Negro American League in 1929 and played out of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh from (1939-1948). 

The Homestead Grays began to play home-away-from-home games at Washington, DC's Griffith Stadium during the 30's-40's, sharing the park with the American League's Washington Senators. The Pittsburgh Pirates, as the Homestead Grays, are (1-1) defeating the Cleveland Buckeyes 9-6 back on 5/20/06, and taking a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Stars on 8/12/06. 

Matt Chico, (0-5, 6.68 ERA) takes the ball for the DC Homestead Grays, while the visiting Pittsburgh-based Grays throw 4th-year lefty Paul Malholm, (2-2, 3.26 ERA). Chico's faced the visiting Grays twice in his career without recording a decision, and he's given up 10 hits, 2 ER, 1 HR, and 5 walks, with 7 K's and a 1.38 ERA in 13.0 innings pitched against the franchise. Malholm's faced the DC-Grays twice in his career, and he's (0-1) with a 4.05 ERA, 6 ER's, 3 HR's and 3 walks allowed, and 10 K's in 13.1 IP.
