Detwiler Is Solid, But Nats Fall Short – The Post
After a 1 hour, 47 minutes rain delay, they got last night’s game in. Ross Detwiler pitched in place of Jordan Zimmermann, who was scratched with elbow fatigue. Uh oh.
In six innings, Detwiler allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts. But he was overshadowed from the outset by the Nationals’ much-anticipated selection of Stephen Strasburg, a right-handed pitcher from San Diego State, with the first pick in the Major League Baseball draft.
Indeed, but Detwiler is doing okay these days. The offense on the other hand, is not. What happened? The pitching finally gets decent and the bats go away. Final score, Cincinnati 3, Washington 2.

Okay, that is all I have time for — off to get my chops busted at work by an Ohio colleague.
