Seventh-inning stretch song: Can’t Stop The
Feeling – Justin Timberlake
Highlights – 3 hits (1st inning
double, 2-run homer in the 3rd, single in the 4th) and 3
RBI for Trea Turner … Chris Heisey followed Turner’s shot with a 3-run
round-tripper later in the third inning … Scherzer wasn’t at his sharpest but
held Atlanta to single runs in the second and sixth, pitching out of deeper
trouble each time and talking his way into pitching the seventh
Other – Turner, Espinosa and Rendon were the
only regulars in the lineup, as the team didn’t arrive in DC until 3am
following the Sunday night game in New York … Melancon made things interesting
by allowing 4 hits and 2 runs in a ninth-inning non-save situation … with a
Monday game rather than a Signature Sunday, we came down early to beat the
traffic and had a pregame lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings … subsequently tried the
gelato (they seemed to have plenty of cups) … traffic getting out of our usual
parking area was again a mess
