May 3, 2018 – Nats 3, Pirates 1 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 30,434
Duration: 2:42
Weather: 87 degrees, Clear
Wind: 12 MPH Right to Left
Umpires: HP: Chad Fairchild. 1B: Bruce Dreckman. 2B: Mike Estabrook. 3B: Eric Cooper.
 
Section 220, Row D, Seats 11-12 – club level was a good choice this afternoon, as we were out of the sun on an unseasonably hot day, and were able to spend a couple innings in the air-conditioned lounge behind the seating area
 
Game notes – after scoring 12 and 9 runs the previous 2 games, Nats eked out the win despite getting only 4 hits …  continuing the season-long avoidance of having Hellickson face opposing batters more than twice, Dave lifted him with 2 out and 1 on in the 6th, with the game scoreless, after only 61 pitches … Washington scored its only runs of the game in the bottom of the frame (Difo single, homers by Turner and Zimmerman), giving Solis the win after he relieved Hellickson and retired Gregory Polanco on one pitch … after Madson got into a bases-loaded one-out jam in the 8th (an error on a double-play ball didn’t help), Doolittle was summoned to get the final 5 outs
