Tonight's game story: Dingerz R teh difference!
Via FanGraphs
- I still like P2K better: Ross Detwiler (-2.6%) fans 1 and walks 1, giving up 3 ER in 6 IP with 13 groundouts.
- D1NGR3RZ!! Michael Morse (+25.4%) blasts an oppo granny to put the Nats ahead in the 4th (+28.7%). Bryce Harper (+19.8%) hits a two-run jack to tack on some crucial insurance runs (+12.0%).
- Don't call it a comeback: Drew Storen (+6.5%) throws a shutdown 8th, partly thanks to a big 5-4-3 GDP (+11.9%), one of many sparkling defensive plays on the night from Ryan Zimmerman (+8.7%).
- Interesting: Tyler Clippard (+6.3%) walks two in the 9th but gets the shutdown to win it.
