August 13, 2017 – Giants 4, Nats 2 (Game 1 of split double-header) – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 30,866
Game Time: 3:09
Weather: 82 degrees, sunny
Wind: 9 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Ryan Blakney, First Base - Ryan Additon, Second Base - Jerry Meals, Third Base - Chris Guccione
Seventh-inning stretch song: Can’t Stop The Feeling – Justin Timberlake
 
Highlights – fill-in starter AJ Cole did all right, going 6 innings with the only hiccup being a 3-run second inning … Nats Park Public Enemy #1 Hunter Strickland was booed early and often (as he walked in from the bullpen, when he was announced, when the inning ended) before, during and after he pitched the 8th inning … Rendon exacted a measure of revenge for Harper’s beaning with a 2-run tater … new bullpen stalwarts Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson did the honors for the pre-game autograph signing
 
Other – Nats weren’t able to do anything against SF starter Chris Stratton, who began the game with an ERA above 6 but pitched shutout ball into the 7th, fanning 10 in the process … traffic was relatively light coming down, although there was quite a backup on the GW Parkway on the way back
