We finally see the Nats win one!
Game notes – Arizona starter Robbie Ray had to exit in the second
inning with what turned out to be a right oblique injury … Wieters homered off
T.J. McFarland, who replaced Ray during his at-bat … with two outs in the
inning the Nats loaded the bases on two walks surrounding Gio’s single, and
plated another run when McFarland booted Zim’s chopper … Taylor homered in the
3rd to give the Nats what turned out to be their final run of the
game … Gio allowed some baserunners but kept the visitors off the scoreboard
thru 6 innings … with his pitch count in the mid-90s but the bullpen heavily
taxed, Davey allowed him to hit for himself and pitch the 7th,
during which he allowed one run on a sac fly … Kintzler and Doolittle shut out
Arizona over the final 2 frames to nail down the much-needed victory
Other – weather still windy and somewhat chilly, but much better than
our two previous Sunday games … despite multiple promotions (Youth Baseball/Softball
Day, kids fidget spinner giveaway, Pups in the Park), the number of occupied
seats appeared to be significantly below the paid attendance … traffic down was
wonderful, and not too bad coming back either … our first Signature Sunday of
the season featured Trevor Gott and Andrew Stevenson
