The Nats squander a 4-1 lead in a 5-4 lost to the Rockies. Bad defense and leaving eight men on base attribute to their lost in Colorado.
Pitching:
Jordan Zimmermann did not have command like he has had in last couple of outings by lasting only 4 innings and giving up 4 runs. Jason Bergmann and Sean Burnett combined for 3 shut out innings of relief. Julian Tavarez took the lost as he gave one run in his .1 inning of work. Joe Beimel was not charged with a run but did allowed the inherited runner to score in his .2 inning of work.
Batting:
The Nats collected 12 hits and 4 runs. Josh Bard, Ryan Zimmerman, Josh Willingham and Nick Johnson all had two hits a piece. Willingham hit a solo homer which was his 10th of the year and Zimmerman hit his 14th on a 3 run shot.
