The Nationals put together excellent starting pitching, shutout
work from the bullpen, and three solo homers to pick up a reasonably
stress-free victory. Having the worst team in the league as the opponent didn’t
hurt either.
The teams traded runs in the 2nd inning, with Joey Gallo
answering Miami’s tally with a second-deck home run. Two innings later, Washington
scored again when José Tena singled, stole second, and scored on a Keibert Ruiz
single. The Nats completed their pattern of scoring a run in every
even-numbered inning on home runs by Tena and Juan Yepez in the 6th and 8th.
Patrick Corbin had little trouble with Miami’s anemic
offense, giving up only one run in his six innings of work. Robert Garcia,
Derek Law, and Kyle Finnegan blanked the visitors over the final three frames. Overall,
the four of them combined to fan 11 while issuing only one walk.
This was the only Saturday game included in our season ticket plan, presumably so we could pick up the bobblehead honoring the 1924 world champion Washington Senators. Our half of Metro’s Red Line was closed between Grosvenor and Medical Center due to track maintenance, so we improvised by driving to Wheaton and riding the other half of the line into DC.
