Seventh-inning
stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones
Highlights –
in the top of the first, Nats took maximum advantage of leadoff Escobar double
and subsequent walks to Rendon and Harper, scoring 2 runs on sac flies by
Zimmerman and Werth … Gio battled out of trouble throughout, fanning 7 and allowing
the Diamondbacks to cross the plate only once before being lifted after
yielding a leadoff single in the top of the sixth … Tyler Moore came in to face
Paul Goldschmidt with one out in the ninth and got him out, then finished the
inning without allowing a hit
Other – in
short, one of the longest and ugliest games of the season … after taking the
lead in the bottom of the first, Nats offense failed to score again until the
bottom of the ninth, when they were 9 runs down … Aaron Barrett and Tanner
Roark allowed the D-backs to take a 5-2 lead in the sixth after Gio’s
departure, featuring a thrown-away bunt by the former and two consecutive walks
to force in a run by the latter … Thornton and Rivero completed the bullpen
meltdown by giving up 3 runs each in the 8th and 9th, respectively
