The important game of the night, Braves at Washington, resulted in a Washington win.
Has anyone noticed that recently, the Nationals have been bouncing back? Not that I am concerned, but one could say that their last 4 games have been played very well (including the 3-2 loss to the Mets).
They beat the Braves 5-1 tonight, really just shutting down the Braves to five hits. Meanwhile, they hit James for 3 and Yates for 2
Yates has seemed to be a weak link in the Braves Bullpen. You have to start wonder if the Braves will start to explore other options, maybe sending Yates down for a week or two to give him a wake up call.
At the time I am writing this, Florida is all tied up with Houston, bot 7th
There is a lot to report from tonights Zephyrs game. The first stop is Carlos Gomez, cause he is always exciting. He wint 3-3 tonight, with a run, a triple, and two walks. He is now batting .419
So I am really pumped about this kid.
Henrandez and Gotay may be batting 180 and 150 respectivly, but tonight they both showed some strength knocking in 2-run shots each. (Hernandez did strikeout 3 times though).
Andy Tracy knocked in HR number 5. He plays first and used to play third for the Expos.
The biggest story of this game has to be Humber who went 6 innings, one run, and had 4 SO
The overall score was 10-2, after losing the day before 3-10.
Here are some misc notes
Ray Knight does the pregame show for the Nationals. I am sorry to say, but he is really boring when it comes to this. If he would talk more about his playing days, he would be much better.
Cliff Floyd hit a homerun today
