Seventh-inning
stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones
Highlights –
Judy Collins did the National Anthem and God Bless America … another dominating
start by Strasburg (7 IP, 2 runs, 10 Ks, 1 BB, plus a hit and run scored as a
batter) … on the second Sunday of the NFL season, Nats put up 2 FGs and a TD, stranding
only 4 runners in the process … 2-run double by Werth in the first … after
Marlins pulled within 3-2 in the top of the sixth, Nats put it away with 7 runs
in the bottom of the frame, keyed by a 3-run Tyler Moore HR and later a
bases-clearing double by Escobar (both with 2 outs) … catcher Pedro Severino
had a major-league debut to remember, doubling and scoring in the Nats’ 3-run 8th
Other –
Ichiro struck out 3 times against Stras, marking the first time since June of
2010 that he had fanned multiple times in consecutive games
Another
blown promotion: Nats had been aggressively running ads for this series in the
Post, including $1 ice cream coupons. (I cut out 4 of them.) 35 minutes before
the game even started, I went to one Nats Dog stand – no ice cream. They sent
me to the stand in back of Section 314, where I was informed that the ice cream
(for the weekend, apparently) was “all gone”. They did give out free small bags
of salty snacks on the way out, perhaps in an effort to kiss and make up.
