There is still no chance the Nats win the next two games and win me a cheesesteak from the Ombudsman. They&#8217;ll probably lose the next two (especially tonight, since <strong>John Lannan<\/strong> is pitching) and I&#8217;ll still be out a half-smoke.<\/p>\n<p>Game 1 saw<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2011\/sep\/20\/milone-making-his-mark\/\"><strong> Tom(my) Millone<\/strong> pitched 6 scoreless innings<\/a> (<em>The Wash.

He didn&#8217;t get the win, because <strong>Doug Slaten<\/strong> put two runners on with weak singles and<strong> Tyler Clippard <\/strong>gave up a 3 run <strong>Raul Ibanez <\/strong>home run. That tied the game &#8212; <strong>Roger Bernadina<\/strong> had hit a 3 run shot in the top of the 7th. In extra innings, <strong>Ryan Zimmerman<\/strong> had the game-winning RBI as a pinch hitter. Zimmerman is now 6 for 15 as a pinch hitter. <strong>Drew Storen<\/strong> earned save #39 with a high wire save that had the winning run on third with 1 out.<\/p>\n<p>In game 2, <strong>Ross Detwiler<\/strong> pitched like a 1st round draft pick. He threw 7 1\/3 scoreless innings and the bullpen did the rest, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/blog\/nationals-watch\/2011\/sep\/21\/drew-storen-double-dips-saves-his-40th-season\/\">Storen&#8217;s 40th save<\/a> (<em>The Wash.
