Nats 2012 Regular Season Thread

[apachef4]

Espinosa singles to right on Young's 31st pitch of the 1st inning. Runners on 1st and 3rd for Bernadina with 2 outs.

 

[apachef4]

Bernadina foul's out, inning over. 33 pitches for Young, though. Gotta like that.

 

[apachef4]

Nice to see Valdespin in the starting lineup. No PH homers tonight!

 

[apachef4]

Nats turn a nice double play on Valdespin, erase Tejada's leadoff single.

 

[apachef4]

Wright hitting .448 with 4 HR and 8 RBI agains the Nats this year. Yeah, let's keep guys off base in front of him, please.

 

[apachef4]

Jordan makes it out of the first with no damage. 2-0 Nats after 1.

 

[apachef4]

Nats go 1-2-3 in the 2nd.

 

[apachef4]

Zimmerman sets the Mets down in order in the 2nd.

 

[apachef4]

Harper is so wet he looks like he just gotout of the shower.

 

[apachef4]

Harper walks to lead off the 3rd, steals second, Nats can't get him home.

 

[apachef4]

Jesus, Chris Young is so tall he makes the umpire and catcher look like little kids. He K's to end the 3rd, Zimmermann has faced the minimum so far. 2-0 Nats still.

 

[apachef4]

Nats just can't catch up to that 86 MPH upstairs fastball right now. Down in order in the 4th.

 

[apachef4]

Tejada gets his 2nd hit of the night...the only 2 off of Zimmermann so far.

 

[apachef4]

...and just like in the 1st, Valdespin grounds into another double play.

 

[apachef4]

David Wright continues to do damage, crushes a homer to left center on a 1-2 count. 2-1 Nats.

 

[apachef4]

Zimmermann gets out of the 4th with no more damage. 2-1 Nats after 4.

 

[apachef4]

Nats down 1-2-3 again in the 5th.

 

[apachef4]

Zimmermann matches that with his own 1-2-3 5th.

 

[apachef4]

1-2-3 again for the Nats in the 6th.

 

[apachef4]

Hey, whaddya know? A baserunner! Thole with an infield hit to lead off the bottom of the 6th.
