- Phenom is phenomenal: Stephen Strasburg (+28.1%) struggles through 7 IP with 1 ER, 10 Ks, and no walks.
- First loss is the worst: Drew Storen (-13.7%) gives up an RBI single in extras (-33.7%) to put the Nats behind.
- Veteran outz vs Rookie outz: Ivan Rodriguez (-17.1%) is 0-4 with a GDP, while Ian Desmond is 1-4 with a GDP and gets picked off after Stras strikes out trying to bunt.
- Steady: Tyler Clippard (+11.2%) and Matt Capps (+14.7%) combine for two perfect innings of relief.
