- 50% success: Chien-Ming Wang (-34.0%) has 2 clean innings in 4 IP, but the others... not so much, giving up 4 ER, 6 runs total with a walk, 2 Ks and 8 hits.
- Slumping: Danny Espinosa (-14.6%) is 0-5 with 4 LOB, including an 8th-inning, bases-loaded strikeout (-10.2%).
- Rally time: Rick Ankiel (+5.0%) hits a bases-loaded RBI single to get the Nats within 3 in the aeyeth (+9.7%)... before the ensuing RISP fail.
(Tip of the Nats cap to FP on the MASN broadcast for the title.)
