Super cute to see Lile’s mom and dad leading a special cheering section from Louisville for him. Alexa interviewed his parents mid-game, after a monster night at the plate.

Nice win!

The Nats have won 5 of the last 6 games Mikolas has pitched in: staff Ace

Always nice to win a game that Mikolas starts. He did okay for 3 innings keeping the ball down and not walking anyone. Not great but baby steps in a ballpark that might of been trouble for him. Lile looked good and Gracia is en fuego!

Always night to take the series opener on the road, especially with double digits in runs! I'm ready to get greedy and look for a series sweep!

GO NATS!!

Awesome to see Lile get going, and where does Mark get his 5 Hr's /game/ballpark data? His interns are doing wonderful work!

I do believe he handles the research himself

You know . . . the "interns"

Yeah, he is a professional sports writer, and a darned good one

Well the season is over. As usual, the Nats have been mathematically eliminated from going 19-31 and hence lost any chance of getting to and winning the World Series. Same ol’ Nats. I suppose there is always next year?

This takes some of sting out from those two bad regression losses in Miami. Now hope for the sweep and a long desired return to .500.

peter wood's avatar

Yes, those losses were tough to deal with, as a fan.

This game was a joy to watch!

Hey DCNats, did you watch the game at all?

Such a fun game! Mark when is Josiah Gray coming back?

Fun to watch

Question though, how long do they leave YoYo in Rochester? Had 3 hits and 2 rbi's tonight. If Louie continues to hit make him your DH or put him back at 2nd. I like Nunez but his offensive numbers will never be strong. Morales should be our starting first baseman, period.

Glad Brady got to join in the hit parade after his less than inspiring infield play earlier.
