| The Braves break the Nats' 7-game winning streak in a 16-inning game that never should have been close. The Nationals got 3 runs in the first and held on to that lead as the Braves chipped away with a run in the 5th and 6th and finally tied it in the bottom of the 9th. The Nationals were lucky that they only gave up 3 runs through 9, since during that span they walked 10, had a balk, a wild pitch, and hit a batter. The Braves left 15 batters on during the first 9 innings! The Nats bullpen held the lead until the 15th when the Nats bats finally struck for 2 runs on a single by pitcher Jesus Colome. The game was left in Colome's hands since he was the last man standing in the bullpen, and he allowed the Braves to get 2 right back off 4 hits in the bottom of the 15th and allowed 3 hits without recording an out in the bottom of the 16th for the mercy killing. An interesting note - although the Braves got a run in the 5th and the 6th, they still had rallies killed in both innings by fly balls caught against the wall by Nats left fielder Kory Casto. It's a good thing Casto is good with the glove, because his 0 for 6 performance with the bat makes him 0 for 26 on the season. He has one walk for an anemic .037 OBP. |
