Regardless, Davey needed his staff to step up tonight, and they did. Big time.

Jordan Zimmermann would pitch Sunday, if the Nats win Friday. So this was a case of a starter pitching on his regular throwing day. Normally, Jordan paces himself and throws his fastball 93-95. This inning, he just let it rip, and most of his fastballs were at 97.

Then he loosened it up for both pitchers. It was very strange.

That would explain why there were so few hits….but how in the world did anyone ever walk?

Props to you Jayson Werth! That was a pretty fantastic at bat. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to sit in the dark angry and bitter the rest of the night curing your name.

That hit by Werth almost makes his contract look reasonable.

Everyone else has to do it with three called strikes :-)

They just struck out Matt Holliday looking at three straight balls.
