Seventh-inning stretch song: The Twist –
Chubby Checker
Highlights – Trea Turner led off the bottom
of the first with his fifth home run … other two Nats runs also came on leadoff
homers, by Ramos in the seventh and Harper in the ninth
Non-highlights – Lucas Giolito struggled in
the first but only allowed one run … with two out and none on in the third,
Giolito allowed a single to Carlos Gonzalez, followed by back-to back homers by
Nolan Arenado (who finished a double short of the cycle) and David Dahl … final
Rockies run came in the eighth on a Koda Glover wild pitch that nailed home-plate
umpire Mike Muchlinski on the left shoulder, allowing Daniel Descalso to score
from second … Bryce was having trouble with the sun in right field most of the
game, most notably on Arenado’s fifth-inning triple (which was initially scored
an error) … Zimmerman fanned in all three appearances against Rockies starter
Chad Bettis
Other – was third in the section 129/130
pre-game autograph line, but A.J. Cole didn’t come out to sign until we’d been
in line in the sun for about 50 minutes (12:05-12:55), after Glover had already
finished signing for the luckier folks in the other line … tried the chicken
and biscuit sandwich from Virginia Country Kitchen (not too bad) … worst
traffic ever getting out of the parking area by the Homeland Security offices
