July 14, 2007: Nationals 3 Marlins 2

Posted by spooky at 1:53 PM




The Nationals take down the Marlins for the 2nd straight day. Whatever's been in the water that has suddenly made the Nats starters good is working on Matt Chico, who goes 7 innings and allows just 1 unearned run, same as his last outing. The Nats add 2 runs in the top of the 8th on a Ryan Langerhans homer, which puts Chico in line for the win if the Nats can hold the lead. After yesterday's debacle, I try Ray King in the 9th to get a lefty out with plans to go to Jon Rauch. It's not exactly clean, but in the end Rauch does the job and earns his 5th save.

2 1 M.Cabrera 3- 6 18 6 Single 1-3 b-1

The Nats are now 8-2 in July with a 1.71 team ERA for the month. The starters are leading the charge with a remarkable 1.19 ERA in those 10 starts. Matt Chico, Jason Bergmann and Tim Redding have combined for 6 starts in the month and allowed just ONE earned run over those 6 starts. This success has moved the Nats back to 2nd place, just 2 games behind the division leading Mets.

The Washington Nationals edged the Florida Marlins at Dolphins Stadium by the
score of 3 to 2.
 
Washington won the game with a rally in the 8th inning scoring 2 runs on 2
hits.  Brian Schneider started the inning off right when he banged out a
single.  D'Angelo Jimenez was the next batter, but he struck out.  Ryan
Langerhans then cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 7th of the
season).  Florida had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.  
 
Matt Chico(7-6) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 innings and allowing 1
run. Jon Rauch recorded his 5th save.  Sergio Mitre(6-3) was the loser.
