                Game 6: Nationals @ Mets 4/11/12

                Mets end Nationals winning streak at 5, shut them out 1-0

                Image and video hosting by TinyPic

                Last night's late inning game must have carried over to today, as the Nationals looked punchless all afternoon, making Johan Santana look like the Cy Young winner of yesteryear. He made quick work of the Nationals, keeping them to only 4 hits, and striking out 7 for the complete game shutout win. Stephen Strasburg was tagged with the tough luck 1-run loss, going 7 frames and striking out 5. The Nationals have finished their 6-game road trip and look to open a long 11 game homestand with their home opener tomorrow at Nationals Park vs. the Cincinnati Reds at 7:05 p.m.

                  The Nationals didn't start off their homestand very well, falling 6-1 to the Reds. Joey Votto mashed the ball every at bat, hitting a double, a home run, and a hard liner for a single. The Nationals looked lost again at the plate, tallying their only run on a sac fly in the bottom of the 9th. The NAts are back at it tomorrow at 7:05 p.m. as Jordan Zimmermann faces off against a starter TBA.

                    Game 8: Reds @ Nationals 4/13/12

                    Morse walks Nats off to victory
                    Extra inning thriller ends with homer

                    Image and video hosting by TinyPic

                    The Nationals rebounded from their 2 game losing streak Friday night with a thrilling walk-off victory in the 12th inning. Mike Morse homered off Ryan Madson to cap off a 4 run 12th inning to lead the Nats over Cincinnati, 7-4. The Nationals had led 3-0 up until the 7th inning until Chris Heisey doubled home a few runs and in the 9th inning, Brad Lidge blew his 2nd save of the season - hopefully a quick slump - and the Reds tied it in the 9th. Chien-Ming Wang came on in relief and went 3 innings and gave up another RBI double to Heisey in the 12th. Madson came out for the bottom of the 12th and the resilient Nats slapped around a few singles and Morse capped it with the homer. The Nationals stole 5 bases in the game and Morses home run was only the 2nd home run hit by a National 8 games into the year (Hernandez - game 2 @ CHC). The Nationals will face the Reds for game 3 of 4 in this series tomorrow afternoon at Nationals Park at 1:05 p.m. (Leake (1-0), 0.00 vs. Jackson (1-0, 1.13)).

                      Saturday afternoon at Nationals Park was a frustrating one, as the Reds toppled the Nationals 7-6. Chris Heisey got the Reds on the board early with a 3 run home run that bounced off the top of the right field wall and into the Nationals bullpen. The Nationals came back to take the lead in the 5th inning with a couple of extra base hits, but in the 6th inning it all fell apart. Edwin Jackson lost control of his fastball, and Henry Rodriguez came into the game and his first 99 mph fastball was bluntly planted into the left field bleachers by Drew Stubbs. Ian Desmond had another rough day in the field with three throwing errors. Ryan Madson came in to preserve the win, and the Nationals were hoping for another walk-off win in this one, but to no avail. The loss drops the Nationals to 6-3 on the 2012 campaign. Tomorrows game closes out the 4 game series with the Reds at 1:05 p.m. at Nationals park with Bronson Arroyo (0-0, 6.35) going for the Reds and Ross Detweiler (0-0, 1.29) making his second start of the year for the Nationals.
