Umpires: HP: Tim Timmons. 1B: Todd Tichenor. 2B: Tim Welke. 3B: Mike Everitt.

Weather: 47 degrees, cloudy.

Wind: 8 mph, Out to RF.

T: 2:54.

Att: 25,327.

Section 416, Row C, Seat 1 (in our “regular” seats for the first time)

 

Highlights – “Uptown Funk” for the seventh-inning stretch … no rain, despite the gray skies

 

Other – Nats “offense” completely shut down by Matt Harvey (first regular-season start after Tommy John surgery) … another Desmond error, this one on a likely double-play grounder … Strasburg unable to limit the damage, leading to a 4-run third inning for the Mets (3 of which were unearned), and giving up two more runs before being lifted in the top of the sixth … cinnamon pretzel bites were definitely not at their best either
