Section 110, Row M, Seat 1 – next section to where I was yesterday,
just a bit down the first base line. “Dugout Box”, so somewhat closer, and more
in the sun.
No weather issues today, but the Washington offense continued to
struggle. They did load the bases with two out in the first against Cards
starter Michael Wacha, but failed to score, and went down in order in each of
the next 4 frames. They finally broke through in the sixth on singles by
Turner, Harper, and Werth off Trevor Rosenthal, but Eaton fanned with the bases
loaded and two out to end the threat.
Jeremy Guthrie started for the Nats and held the Cards hitless through
his 4.1 innings. They finally broke through off closer candidate Koda Glover,
plating two in the 6th keyed by a Dexter Fowler triple, and adding
another in the 7th. Glover, who’s typically more of a one-inning
guy, wound up facing 9 batters, retiring 5 and allowing 4 hits.
For lunch, I decided to try a “PB half smoke”, which it turns out is
topped by pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and cole slaw. Actually good, not quite as
messy as expected, and a relative bargain at $7.00.
