The Nats dodged danger thorough out the whole game last night with the D-Backs. John Lannan, Nats' starter, pitched 6 innings who walked 6, but never gave up a run. Relievers Garret Mock, Ron Villone, Logan Kensing, and Joe Beimel pitched without giving up a run. Kip Wells came into close the game, but unable to do it. He gave up one run in 2/3 of an inning, but Joel Hanrahan was able to get the last out for his 3rd save of the year.
The Nats offense was limited, but effective as Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman both homered for the Nats two runs. Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to 27 games. The play of the game was made by Austin Kearns who made a force play at home plate. The scorecard read 9-2! Jesus Flores made an excellent stretch catching Keans' throw.
Yesterday's box score is the following:
