Seventh-inning stretch song: Uptown Funk –
Mark Ronson f/ Bruno Mars
Section 129, Row PP, Seats 1-2 – lower
level, just inside first base, far enough back towards the concourse that we
were in the shade for the first 3 innings or so
Highlights – Tanner Roark tossed 7 scoreless
innings on an extremely hot day, pitching out of a couple early-inning jams …
Nats got more than enough runs with a 4-spot in the bottom of the 2nd
off Aaron Nola, and added 4 more off the Phillies’ bullpen (with the biggest
blow being a two-run double by Rendon in the fifth)
Other – Nola uncharacteristically struggled
with his command, and didn’t make it through the 4th inning … Phils
started off the second with a single and double, then failed to score when the
next 3 batters fanned … Tommy Joseph, who’s relatively new to first base,
prolonged the fatal second inning by trying unsuccessfully to make the play at
home on Roark’s sac bunt, rather than taking the sure out at first … leaving
early (9:45) was again the trick to minimizing GW Parkway traffic … the grilled
chicken peri-peri sandwich from Change-Up Chicken was good, but certainly
didn’t pack much heat … appearance of the lemon ice vendor halfway through the
game was greatly appreciated
