• Rookie misadventures: Erik Davis (-6.0%) melts down in the 6th, giving up a leadoff triple but getting an out without letting the runner score.
• Rookie calm: Fernando Abad (+11.0%) earns a shutdown by coming into the one-out, runner-on-third jam in the 6th and stranding the runner.
• Deja vu AROOO: Jayson Werth (+2.9%) singles in the Shark, moving Zim to second, in the first (+9.9%)... and then again in the third (+7.1%).
