August 9, 2017 – Nats 10, Marlins 1 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 25,951
Game Time: 3:02
Weather: 82 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Ryan Additon, First Base - CB Bucknor, Second Base - Fieldin Culbreth, Third Base - Manny Gonzalez
 
Highlights – perfect night for baseball weather-wise … Gio gave up some hits, but only one run in his 7 innings, with no walks and an economical 103 pitches … Nats chipped away at Miami starter Adam Conley and the Marlins’ bullpen, scoring in 5 of the first 7 innings … Zim started things off in the 2nd with a solo HR, setting the all-time franchise record for RBI in the process … not satisfied with that achievement, he added 3 more hits (plus a walk) and 4 more RBI, missing the cycle only because he homered again rather than hitting a triple in his final plate appearance
 
Other – drive down was not quite as bad as our previous weeknight treks … yes, you can buy a plain half-smoke at Ben’s, but it still costs $9.25
