Seventh-inning
stretch song: I Got You (I Feel Good) – James Brown
Highlights –
Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth led off the bottom of the second with
back-to-back home runs … Zimmerman went deep again in the third … new no-VA
route to the park worked well (37 minutes)
Other – Max Scherzer
was touched for 4 runs in 6 innings, including two solo dingers by the
hot-hitting Carlos Gonzalez and one by the light-hitting Daniel Descalso …
Storen gave up the deciding runs in the eighth inning for the second time in
the series
If the Nats
want an appropriate James Brown song for the seventh-inning stretch, perhaps
they should go with “Talking Loud And Saying Nothing”, given that they’re a
mere 4 games over .500 with more than 2/3 of the season now in the books.
(Boswell’s column this morning, however, references Toots and the Maytals
instead.) The safest prediction of the year is that, if the Nats are out of
playoff contention going into their season-ending series in New York, Bryce
will be hearing loud chants of “where’s my ring” from all of the Mets fans in
attendance.
