Attendance: 29,209

Game Time: 2:54 (delayed 2 hours and 4 minutes in the bottom of the third inning due to rain)

Weather: 84 degrees, cloudy

Wind: 7 mph

Umpires: Home Plate - Mark Carlson, First Base - Clint Fagan, Second Base - Brian Gorman, Third Base - Quinn Wolcott
Seventh-inning stretch song: Hey Baby – DJ Otzi

Section 137, Row 31, Seat 1 – lower level, section behind the visitors dugout, far enough back (just under the overhang) that I only got slightly wet when the storm hit

 

Highlights – Werth set the Nats team record by reaching base in his 44^th consecutive game (franchise record is 46) … singles by Werth, Murphy, and Ramos gave the Nats a 2-0 lead in the top of the third

 

Other – Rockies came right back to tie in the bottom of the third on a Blackmon double and LeMahieu homer off Gio … after play resumed, Nats were blanked for the final 6 innings, while the Rockies notched 4 runs in 5 innings against 4 Washington relievers … apparently if I take a road trip to see the Nats, there will be a two-hour rain delay … had a large burrito bowl for $8.00, and an overly large serving of gelato for $5.75 … over 700 canines for Bark in the Park, complete with a pre-game parade (not sure how they handled the rainstorm and delay)
