Seventh-inning
stretch song: Cantina Theme (Star Wars)
Highlights –
Scherzer had to work out of trouble a few times, but held the Dodgers to one
run in 6 innings … the bullpen kept the game close until the 9th
inning … Thomas Jefferson looked fetching in his Princess Leia outfit … there
will still R2-D2 Can Coolers left when we got to the game (around 12:25)
Other – the Nats
allowed Zach Greinke to extend his remarkable scoreless-inning streak to 43⅔
innings, nicking him for only 3 singles and a walk during his 8 innings of work
while fanning 11 times (after striking out 14 times against Kershaw on
Saturday) … the since-demoted Blake Treinen allowed 5 hits and 4 runs in the
top of the ninth while retiring only one batter … the dark side won the
Presidents’ Race as well as the ball game … Metro worked well on the trip home,
but on the way down we had to wait 15 minutes at Gallery Place before a Green
Line train arrived … it was a bit on the warm side, despite the shade and
occasional breeze in our seats
