- Warning-track power: Gio Gonzalez (+24.5%) gives up 1 run in 7 IP with 7 Ks and 1 walk, but his fifth-inning fly ball is caught just in front of the wall in LF (-1.4%).
- Scoring without making outs: Daniel Murphy (+8.1%) hits an RBI single put the Nats on the board in the first and set up their second run (+9.4%).
- What did I tell you about getting homer-happy? Trea Turner (+9.6%) pads the lead (and his stats) with a fifth-inning solo shot into the LF corner (+7.7%).
