Game 57 WPA: Stras, supported. Nats 8, FF 4

Finally a long rain-delay game that wasn't on my ticket plan. Glad it was win.

  • He slacks off when he has runs! Stephen Strasburg (+15.1% pitching, +2.7% hitting) gives up 4 R (2 ER) in 7 IP, but fans 11 and only walks 1. He adds some DIY at the plate, with a walk, an RBI single, and a run scored.
  • Keep proving me wrong: Danny Espinosa (+18.0%) insists he's for reelz, going 2-4 with a two-run double to put the Nats ahead in the 4th (+18.0%).
  • Make the choice tough: Denard Span (+7.3%) is 2-5 with a pair of doubles.
  • Stat-padder: Anthony Rendon (+7.8%) is 3-5 with a 5th-inning solo shot for the eventual winning tally.

This WPA post brought to you by rain. Again.
