Game notes – Nats’ 4-1 lead after 2nd-inning homers by
Murphy and Taylor didn’t last, as Gio gave up 2 more runs in his third and
final inning, and Cubs scored 4 off Scherzer in the unbelievable 5th
frame … Cubs scored 1 more run each off Kintzler and Solis, giving them just
enough to hold off the Nats’ 4 in innings 6-8, including another RBI hit by
Taylor … game ended as Werth and Harper fanned against Chicago closer Wade
Davis, running on fumes in his third inning of relief … longest 9-inning
post-season game ever
Other – traffic on the way down was not as bad as it could have been
(although slow on the GW Parkway), and we had no trouble getting into our
parking lot, although getting out of SW onto M Street after the game was over
was unbelievably slow … chilly and breezy on the concourse before the game with
a little rain, but rain-free and reasonably comfortable once the game actually
started … concessions stands were out of pretzels (both levels) and pizza
(upper level at least) by the top of the seventh … Metro wound up letting
people in until 1am, thanks to them and to Exelon (but no thanks to the Nats)
