Seventh-inning stretch song: What I Like About You – The Romantics

 

Highlights – sun was out (!) … not as cold and windy as expected (at least not in our section) … less traffic than usual going down the GW Parkway (probably because I left at 10:45) … ran into the senior member of the Schroeder clan while walking around the concourse … Nats did score a run on Ryan Zimmerman’s inside-the-park homer (Ozuna and Stanton tripped each other up trying for the catch, but fortunately both stayed in the game)

 

Other – Marlins got one more run than they needed in the third, when Stephen Drew lost a routine two-out popup in the sun … added 3 more in the sixth on a solo homer by Stanton and a bases-loaded single by Jose Fernandez (who fanned 11 in his 7 innings of work) … Nats threatened off the Miami bullpen in the 8^th and 9^th but failed to score
