(What do these graphs mean?)

  • Not so bad: Gio Gonzalez (+10.3%) gives up 2 runs in 6.1 IP, with one of his inherited runners also scoring later, with 4 Ks and 2 walks.
  • Score early: Jayson Werth (+7.6%) hits a two-out, RBI double in the first to put the Nats up by two (+10.5%).
  • Score often: Anthony Rendon (+24.7%) hits a two-run dinger to put the Nats ahead in the fourth (+19.9%). Wilson Ramos (+12.5%) belts a solo shot in the 6th (+8.3%).
  • So... that happened: Jonathan Papelbon (-85.0%) has a spectacular meltdown, giving up a two-run lead and exiting with the bases loaded having recorded no outs in the 9th.
  • End this misery: Oliver Perez (-6.4%) earns his own afterthought of a meltdown, getting one out after Paps' exit before allowing the losing run and saving us from extras.

This WPA brought to you by the continuing campaign for "90s night" at the park:
