Opened the Nats 2014 season last night with a thrilling 5-4 win over the Dodgers. The Nats struck first on a solo shot by Pablo Sandoval but later trailed 3-1 as Bud Norris was cruising for LA.
The Nats later tied it in the 7th when Brandon Moss plated two runs with a two out double over the head of the RF. He was promptly driven in by a long single from Evan Gattis to put the Nats up 4-3.
After Matt Thornton set the Dodgers down in order, we fast forward to the top of the 9th. My rookie closer who I can't even recall his name blew the lead giving up a double and a base hit after getting the first out. But tied at 4 in the bottom of the 9th, newly acquired FA Chase Utley picked up his third hit of the game. Utley took a 2-1 slider into the first row in right center for the walk off and the Nats win!
We're currently looking for a veteran closer to add to the pen.
