Postgamer #98: Nats Finally Get One! Solid Performance Snaps Losing Streak: A Recap

The Nats bounced back strong from last night’s frustrating finish with a win that we can all be thankful for. It’s not been often this season where I’ve left a game against one of the better teams in the majors thinking, “that was nine innings of well played baseball on both sides,” but tonight is one of those nights. The pitching did a great job of holding a fierce lineup quiet, and the offense did just enough against that stout San Diego pitching staff. The large crow of 31,136 got to see No. 1 draft pick Eli Willits make an appearance at the stadium and see a well-played Nats win.

Game #98 Can Mitchell Parker be the stopper?

The Washington Nationals were in last night’s game until the top of the 9th inning. The 2-2 tie disappeared in one swing of the bat. This team got good pitching until Kyle Finnegan unraveled again. That is two losses in three games for Finnegan. Not only is that bad for the Nationals, it is bad for Finnegan’s trade value. On top of that, another O-fer for James Wood.

Did you know that the Nats are 25-14 when Wood has an RBI? The team is 13-44 with no RBI from Wood. In his last 9-games, Wood is batting .094 with a .404 OPS and a 45.9 percent K rate. Some think the HR Derby sims for Wood ruined his swing due to his timing being off. Obviously Ricky Gutierrez was throwing BP pitches at slower velos during their HR Derby practice.
