3 in the Capitol.....6/9-11

[DT LUNA]

All around good pitching today. Perez had his best day in a while and the pen followed suit. Kudos.

Lewis Brinson has been brought up by the Brewers. Best wishes to the young man. I will always keep an eye on the progress of him, Williams, Cordell, Alfaro, and Eickhoff.

Looks like our nations capital has been unexpectedly good to the Rangers. Who would have expected them to have already won the series by now? Is the bull pen doing better without " stanky" Sam? Or have we been winning games with clutch hitting?

Thought you said you weren't interested in the team at this point.

I'm not watching the games as much, but I'm still paying attention

The Washington Nationals' bullpen saga took an unexpected turn Saturday when closer Koda Glover, after blowing a save in the ninth inning, admitted that he suffered a back injury while showering before the game.

Glover told reporters that he experienced back discomfort throughout the game but still attempted to close out the ninth inning because he had not pitched in the last three days. He did not tell manager Dusty Baker or the training staff about the injury until after the game.

"I was taking a shower, bent over to get my body wash, stood up and had a little kink," Glover told reporters, according to The Washington Post. "With some issues I've had lately, I kind of pushed myself.

"I didn't want to take a day off. I've had three days off already, so I pushed the limits today, tried to pitch through it. And it's one of them things where it was out of my control and I should have said something early. I didn't and now my back's in pretty bad shape."

Washington had a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning Saturday against the Texas Rangers, but Glover allowed two runs and failed to finish the frame. The Rangers won the game, 6-3, in 11 innings.

Brinson is making his debut today and has grounded out in his first big league AB.

Always.

Gallo still needs to do better than a .204 average.

Agreed, and I think he will. It may take some time, and let's keep in mind he's only 23. Lots of time to mature

So Beltre is not going on the DL, why is Profar here?

Hopefully they're thinking of sending Odor's ass down.

Ranger killer incoming.
