Seventh-inning stretch song: I Can’t Help
Myself – The Four Tops
Highlights – Tanner Roark pitched out of big
jams several times to hold the Giants scoreless thru seven innings … Shawn
Kelley threw a 1-2-3 eighth, and Mark Melancon repeated the feat in the ninth
for his first Nats save … Ben Revere made a spectacular catch to end the top of
the seventh, saving two runs … after the stretch, Wilson Ramos went deep for
the only run of the game (and only Washington’s second hit) … great enough game
to inspire a Tom Boswell column in this morning’s Post
Other – Traffic down not too bad (left at
10:45) … traffic coming back somewhat slower getting out of the parking lot
(the one formerly known as Lot HH), and backed up on the GW Parkway getting on
to the Beltway
