Seventh-inning
stretch song: Uptown Funk – Mark Ronson f/ Bruno Mars
Highlights –
just when we had given up on any 400-level love, everybody in our section (416)
won free buffet tickets from Maryland Live Casino … another excellent start for
Joe Ross, who in 6 innings allowed just 1 (unearned) run and 1 (questionable)
hit, while walking 2 and fanning 7 … Nats started off the bottom of the fifth
by loading the bases with nobody out, then grabbed the lead by scoring two runs
… Werth and Zimmerman added solo blasts in the sixth and seventh … great play
by Rendon at 3B to save a run and end the top of the seventh … bullpen held the
lead for the final three frames, with Pap converting a rare save opportunity …
spent most of the game socializing with our “pet calendar” friends … was bold
enough to drive down and back on a weekday (with navigational help), with both
trips and the parking being blessedly uneventful
Other –
Escobar left the game after getting hit on the wrist, and Taylor departed after
running into the outfield wall … with Span unavailable (and later placed back
on the DL), Nats were forced to use Fister as a pinch-hitter in the seventh,
and finish the game with a defensive alignment that included Espinosa in LF
