Section 317, Row L, Seats 1-2 – not too far down the
first-base line. Row L, we discovered, was in the raised portion of the
section, with the rows of seats perched on top of the concourse. Unfortunately,
the structure at the right side of the aisle partially obstructed the view of
the field and main scoreboard from seat 1.
Washington starter Jake Irvin struggled with his command the
first two innings, but settled down to allow just one run in his five innings
of work. Marlins southpaw Braxton Garrett did him one better, lasting six
innings and allowing his one run in the bottom of the 4th, on a Jeimer Candelario
double and a Joey Meneses single.
Jordan Weems got the Nats bullpen off to a good start with a
1-2-3 6th. Chad Kuhl entered for the 7th, pitching on back-to-back days for the
first time this season, and it did not go well, as he allowed a four-pitch
bases-loaded walk followed by a run-scoring wild pitch to the next batter. Washington
threatened in the bottom of the 8th on a leadoff double by Lane Thomas and a
single by Luis García, but Candelario grounded into a double play, scoring
one run but essentially ending the opportunity for more. Miami responded by
adding two insurance runs on a two-run single by Bryan De La Cruz, the fourth
consecutive batter to reach base against Thaddeus Ward.
After a quick stop at Subway, we were in line for the 2:30 gate opening to be sure we got the Abe-Teddy bobbleheads. (As it turned out, they still had plenty half an hour before the game actually started.) The 4:05 start meant that we were in the sun for most of the game, although a breeze provided occasional relief.
