I was in the middle of blogging this game last night when the power went out! Looks like it saved ok and didn't screw anything else up, thank god.

Jason Bergmann dominates for the 2nd straight start, going 8 and giving up just 4 hits while striking out 10. Unfortunately for him, Dontrelle Willis was matching him, allowing just 3 hits over the same 8 inning span. The Nats finally get to Willis in the 9th with a leadoff Ryan Zimmerman triple followed by a groundball from Dmitri Young where the throw to the plate was too late. Willis leaves the game and the Nats would score one more for the 2-0 lead. I go to Chad Cordero to close, but as it has many times before this season, that proves to be a mistake. Cordero allows 2 walks, 2 doubles, and 2 runs to tie the game.

In the top of the 10th, D'Angelo Jimenez leads off with a single. Nook Logan strikes out, but a Felipe Lopez walk and Ryan Zimmerman single load the bases. The Marlins go to Renyel Pinto out of the bullpen, and the Nats pinch hit with Tony Batista. Batista strikes out, but Ronnie Belliard draws a walk to score the go-ahead run. Jon Rauch would get the Marlins 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning for his 4th save. Time to change closers, perhaps?

From the "wins aren't always a good measure of success" department: Cordero gets the win, Bergmann gets a no-decision.
