I am probably only going be able to watch the first couple of innings.
Dinner with the cousins.

That's OK. Gotcha covered. I'll post when runs score.

Or if Cron does something noteworthy vs. Scherzer.

I hope Robbie is up to the occasion.

[Ronin]

[Ronin]

Ahmed strikes out looking. Nick has a few words with the ump as the inning comes to an end

 

[Ronin]

Okay I’m out.

 

[BC867]

Ronin, you just missed Carson Kelly's solo HR in the 3rd. 1-0 D-backs.

Hopefully, he'll get a lot of playing time with Avila now on the DL.

Kelly has been slugging the ball when given the chance. I hope it
will be clear that he is our Catcher when Avila returns.

 

[BC867]

Oh no! Robbie is getting hit. A double drives in the tying run.
That didn't last long!

Runners on 2nd & 3rd with no one out and the heart of the
batting order is up.

And a sac fly makes it 2-1 with one out. A hard line drive to
3B is the second out.

And a check swing single drives in the 3rd run for the Nats.

Ray at his usual hight pitch count -- 51 after three innings.

The D-backs only hit off Scherzer is Kelly's home run.

 

[BC867]

Adam Jones gets our second hit, a single, in the 4th with one out and is stranded.

 

[BC867]

Ahmed with a solo HR in the 5th. 3-2 Washington.

And the Nats with a solo HR to start the bottom
of the 6th. Followed by a 1-out solo HR. 5-2.

Ray is at 98 pitches after 6 innings.

 

[BC867]

Scherzer went over the 100 pitch count in the 7th and is being hit for.

Andriese is pitching the 7th for the D-backs.

 

[BC867]

Washington with a double steal. Runners on 2B & 3B with 1 out in the 7th.

Followed by a single with the infield in. Runners on 1st & 3rd. Andriese is
not a picture of confidence on the mound. And a sac fly makes it 7-2.

Crichton in to pitch with 2 outs and ends the inning.

 

[BC867]

Escobar with a double to drive in a run in the 8th. D-backs on 2nd & 3rd with two outs.

New pitcher for Washington. And Cron strands them. 7-3 going to the bottom of the 8th.

 

[BC867]

D-backs leave 2 runners on base in the 9th and lose 7-3.

The series is tied 1-1.

Tomorrow's game at 1:00 Arizona time. Sunday's is at 10:30 AM.
