Seventh-inning
stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones (excellent choice!)
Highlights –
2-run Harper homer, 3-run Escobar shot, double by Gio, all in a 9-run first
inning off poor Charlie Morton, who was lifted before getting the third out and
saw his ERA rise from an excellent 1.62 to a pedestrian 3.97 … 7 shutout
innings by Gonzalez in an efficient 85 pitches … Pirates outfielder José
Tabata, who ruined Scherzer’s perfect game bid Saturday by managing to get
plunked by a pitch with two out in the ninth, was booed lustily by the sellout
crowd every time he came to the plate
Other –
inbound traffic worse every game; left home at 11:30, got to the bridge that
replaced the old Humpback Bridge on the GW Parkway just before noon, took 25
minutes to make it the rest of the way
