Not too hitterish: Bryce Harper (+4.6%) scores
both ofthe Nats only runsafter a 6th-inning triple (+11.5%). He's thrown "out" at the plate in the first on a blown call (-4.2%). - Not too many baserunners: Denard Span (-22.5%) hits into two double plays, including a bunt that he didn't run out, apparently thinking it was foul (-8.3%). He also drops a catchable ball that was generous scored a "double."
