Umpires: HP: Pat Hoberg. 1B: Gerry Davis. 2B: Phil Cuzzi. 3B: Tony Randazzo.

Weather: 64 degrees, clear.

Wind: 17 mph, L to R.

T: 2:43.

Att: 26,166.

Section FI108, Row 32, Seat 1 – not nearly as close as last night (Friday nights are more expensive), but certainly not bad (lower level, about halfway between home and third base)

Seventh-inning stretch song: Twist & Shout – The Beatles

 

Highlights – rain finally stopped mid-afternoon, so had a much more pleasant (although somewhat chilly) evening … first inning started with 4 consecutive singles and a bases-loaded walk to Zimmerman … added two more first-inning runs on a double-play grounder and then a Desmond single … widened lead to 7-0 before anyone was retired in the top of the third on 3 singles and a 2-run Espinosa double … added single runs in the 4^th (Harper homer), 6^th, and 7^th … 10 different Nats had hits, including all 9 starters … JZimm blanked the Padres for the first 6 innings, and rookie A. J. Cole allowed only one hit over the final 3 frames to “save” the 10-run lead

Other – Jayson Werth had to leave the game in the second inning after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist
