Section 118, Row V, Seat 1 – mirror image on the third-base side of
Section 127, where we sat Saturday. Great view, but unfortunately Seat 1 in
this section does NOT have an aisle next to it.
Highlights – Brian Goodwin got the Nats on the board with a 2-run homer
in the bottom of the second … weather was much better than expected, as there
was no rain or storms during the game (just a bit shortly after I arrived
around 3:00), and it wasn’t uncomfortably hot where I was sitting (the breeze
helped), although they did open up a cooling center … patriotic tank-tops were
obviously a popular giveaway item
Other – Tanner Roark was even worse than on his bobblehead day Friday,
giving up 3 in the top of first and 3 more in the third (punctuated by a 2-run
HR by light-hitting former Nat Kurt Suzuki), failing to shut down the Braves
after Goodwin’s blast … Trevor Gott (taking one for the team) and Blake Treinen
combined to give up 6 more Atlanta runs in the seventh … Nats offense offered
little against Julio Teheran and 2 Braves relievers over the final 7 innings …
Nats have now lost the past 4 games I’ve attended, 3 of which came on this home
stand
