Game notes – Edwin Jackson had a tough and lengthy first inning, giving
up a long tater to Giancarlo Stanton and subsequently walking the bases loaded …
managed to escape that jam and only gave up one more run through the 6th
… Nats finally got to nemesis Vance Worley (who had beaten them twice earlier
in the month while allowing only one run), scoring in the 3rd, 4th,
and 5th to take a 5-2 lead into the 7th … biggest blow in
the rally was a clutch two-out, two-run single by Murph in the bottom of the 3rd
… Jackson lasted 4 batters into the 7th, leaving with one run in and
the bases loaded, but Perez and Albers combined to retire Yelich, Ozuna, and
Realmuto without allowing any further damage … Nats took full advantage of
their similar opportunity in the bottom of the inning on a 2-out, 3-run double
by Rendon
Other – it was raining both when we got on Metro (around 4:00) and when
we arrived several minutes before the gates opened just after 5 … the new
Skittles tarp was on, and it kept raining while we waited for a seat at the
facility formerly known as the Red Porch Restaurant, as well as when we were
dining … they announced a delayed start (7:30) while we were eating, and it had
pretty much stopped raining when we went back outside shortly before 7 … did
get some light-to-moderate rain in the first inning, but nothing after that …
actual attendance was significantly under the number of tickets sold, given the
weather, so plenty of Harper Starting Lineup Action Figures remain available
