The Lows: Dodgers’ Chad Billngsley no hitting the Nats for the first five innings and Cristen Guzman’s two errors.

Batting
The Nats collected five hits while scoring five runs!!! The Nats were lead by Ryan Zimmerman 31st homer of the year and his three RBI which gave him a 100 on the year. But please let’s not forget Maxwell key stolen base in the ninth lead which lead to Orr’s game winning sac fly.
