Game 144: WINnerific WIN Parade of WIN

Shaky: Stephen Strasburg (+3.8%) gets blooped and works some long counts for only 3 IP, but gets 4 Ks and only gives up 1 ER.
Okay, I'll call it a comeback: Danny Espinosa (+10.4%) leads the WPA parade today, going 2-4 with a pair of doubles, including one to left in the 2nd that set up the tying run (+9.7%).
D1ng3r! Ian Desmond (+9.8%) also represents for the middle infield, going 3-5 with a 3rd-inning solo shot for the early lead (+12.0%).
D1ng3r! D1ng3r! Rick Ankiel (+8.7%) goes back-to-back after Desi's jack (+9.9%), while Ryan Zimmerman (+7.8%) makes it back-to-back-to-back on the next at-bat (+7.2%).
Gorzilla smash! Tom Gorzelanny (+9.4%) "picks his teammate up," throwing 3 clean innings in relief.

I hope the 3 D1ng3rs! make up for an “interesting” Strastart in regards to Reddington’s Travels….

It was a good day of baseball!

Ok, I got a bit sunburned out in left field, and I did not need to see Slaten pitch, but otherwise it was a lot of fun out there today :)

[checks baseball-reference]

You’re right! Stras had 96 prior to today, so his 4th of the game today was his 100th career. Here’s to hundreds more!
