July 19, 2007: Nationals 5 Rockies 4

Posted by spooky at 10:29 PM




Chad Cordero almost blows this one for the Nats, but ends up getting the win when the Nats score the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.

Cordero entered in the 8th after Chris Schroder had given up 2 runs, enabling the Rockies to move within a run. With 2 outs and the tying run on 1st, Cordero gave up 3 straight singles which enabled the tying run to score and loaded the bases for Jamey Carroll, who thankfully grounds out for the 3rd out. The Nats go down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 8th and Cordero amazingly keeps the Rockies from scoring in the 9th. Brian Schneider grounds out to lead off the Nats 9th, and I pinch hit with Nook Logan to face lefty Jeremy Affeldt. The Rockies counter with righty Taylor Buchholz, who gets a ground ball from Logan but misplays it to put Logan on 1st. Nook is fast and quickly swipes 2nd for his 16th steal of the season. With the pitcher due up, I pinch hit with Tony Batista which brings out another Rockie pitcher, Matt Herges. Batista singles, and Logan scores on a 1-16 chance to send the 32,693 fans home happy.
