Section 312, Row D, Seats 11-13 – great seats, two sections closer to
home plate than our regular location
Notes – almost a replay of our last game: dominant performance by
Strasburg, 2 homers by Zim, close game early until the Nats’ offense finally
arrived … but cooler and earlier-ending, with a lot more people, presumably due
largely to the beer stein giveaway (which we arrived too late to get) … Stras
only allowed 2 hits in 7⅔ innings, retiring the first 14 batters and not
allowing a runner past second base … Nats scored a run in the first on singles
by Rendon and Murphy and Zim’s double … added 3 in the 6th, capped
by Zim’s 2-run HR, and 2 in the 8th on back-to-back solo shots by
Zimmerman (who had 2 doubles in addition to his 2 round-trippers) and Werth
