Game 142: The rally sammiches worked!
Tonight's game story: Nats win in 11th on walkoff E-5.
- Mr. Walkoff lets someone else do it: Ryan Zimmerman (+6.4%) hits a two-run bomb in the first for the early lead (+17.6%).
- Needz moar dingerz: Tommy Milone (-10.3%) gives up 3 ER in 5.2 IP and doesn't go yard, although he does strike out 3 and walk none.
- Interesting in a good way: Drew Storen (+13.2%) records 4 outs in the 9th, two Ks (one a K-WP) and a bunt, pop-up double play (+18.1%).
- Back to All Star: Tyler Clippard (+26.4%) keeps it tied for two innings
- In and out of jams: Henry Rodriguez (+10.3%) escapes a runner-on-third, one-out jam with a big strike out (+14.2%).
- Right guy at the right time: Jayson Werth (+16.8%) bounces an infield single to third, and a late throw to second goes in center field to let Zimmy come around for the walkoff run (+29.7%).
- Fuhst baseman, Chwis Maaaaweeewwwo! Chris Marrero (+6.1%) doubles in the tying run in the 7th (+16.1%).

no love for the Rally Sammmiches?
I suppose winning on a sad throwing error just doesn’t satisfy…

Looks like a walk-off grand-slam in the record book

well, no
since a walk-off GS would be a 4-run victory. However, the effect on the standings is the same, so I’ll give you the points…

Pinky: "Yes, ... wait, ... no, ... never mind"
picky picky picky...you assume a tie game, which is wasn't
Record shows W or L and maybe the final score. Never a word about what the score was before that walk-off slammer I mentioned.
OK, since we were down one, looks like a two-run…aw screw it. You get the big picture: a win is a win.

Yay for Rally Sammiches! and ......................................
Yay for a Curly W…any way they can get it!
At least they didn’t freeze like deer in the headlights…and took a gift……FINALLY!
(But, I’m still mad about the Berkman calls.)
