Section 306, Row D, Seats 19-21 – our home for the NL playoffs, a few
sections beyond our usual location behind 3B, but certainly not bad
Game notes – Strasburg was dominant through the first 5 innings,
allowing only one baserunner (on a walk) while breaking the franchise record
for strikeouts in a postseason game (finishing with 10) and keeping his pitch
count down … with 2 outs in the 6th, the no-hitter and shutout ended
when Kris Bryant singled on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Javier Baez from second,
which he had reached on a Rendon error and a sac bunt … Bryant got to second
when Harper missed the cutoff man, and scored on Anthony Rizzo’s single … Cubs
added what proved to be a completely unnecessary insurance run in the 8th
off Ryan Madson … Nats “offense” didn’t get a hit after the second inning off
Kyle Hendricks and 2 relievers, and only 2 for the game (Harper and Taylor)
Other – perfect weather for short sleeves … Metro worked well in both
directions … took longer than I expected, but I did get back the remote for my
Prius that I lost on Sunday
