Nationals notes – Stephen Strasburg extended his scoreless streak to 34
innings, allowing only 3 baserunners through 8 innings, none of whom reached
second … offense broke through in the sixth, on a leadoff triple by Turner and
doubles by Adrian Sanchez and Victor Robles … Turner homered in the eighth for
the final run
Phillies notes – Maikel Franco’s singles in the fifth and eighth were
the only hits off Strasburg … Ben Lively pitched the entire game, matching
goose eggs with Strasburg through the first 5 … Phils rallied for 2 runs in the
ninth off Ryan Madson, on singles by Crawford, Herrera, and Nick Williams
Other – shortest game of the year in Nats Park brought the team to the
brink of clinching the NL East, pending the outcome of Miami’s game in Atlanta,
which was tied 5-5 as the Nats completed their victory … Marlins took the lead
on Dee Gordon’s second HR of the year and later added 2 more, but the Braves
rallied for 3 in the bottom of the 9th to send the game into extra
innings … finally, almost 90 minutes after the game ended in Washington, Lane
Adams hit a 2-run walkoff homer for Atlanta in the bottom of the 11th
to clinch the division for the Nats … we were among the hundreds of fans who
stayed around to watch the Miami-Atlanta game on the big video screen and join
in the celebration
