The Nats offense produced 8 runs in last night’s game versus the Atlanta Braves but it was not enough in a 9-8 lost. The Nats had the tying run on base in the 9th inning, but Josh Bard was unable to produce a game tying hit. The Nats pitching again was the main culprit in the lost.
Pitching:
Ross Detwiler only lasted 3.1 innings in his start and he gave up 5 runs and 10 hits. The bullpen did not do any better. The pen gave up 4 more runs in the lost. The play of the game was a pinch 3-run homer by Braves’ Brooks Conrad off Jesus Colome in the 7th inning who took the lost. Julian Tavarez also walked in the 9th run of the game in the 8th inning.
Batting:
The Nats collected 8 hits, and scored 8 runs. The Nats were led by Cristen Guzman’s two hits and three RBI . Adam Dunn connected on his 21st homer of the year and I must add it was a blast!
