The four year old resident &#8212; the same one who wanted to &#8220;play baseball&#8221; before the game and wound up pitching a hollow plastic ball to his father (holding his son&#8217;s hollow plastic bat) for a little bit was bouncing around yelling &#8220;THEY WON!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day, few Nats fans made the effort to conceal their anxiety following yesterday&#8217;s 12-4 beat-down. Elation prevailed as the series would be extended to the full five games.<\/p>\n<p>It would not have gotten that far without the performance of Detwiler&#8217;s career, to date. The Missouri native pitched 6 innings with no earned runs and more pitches than he had ever thrown as a major leaguer. Zimmermann made his first relief appearance since his days at A-Carolina League Potomac and struck out three, hitting 97 m.p.h. Clippard struck out three and walked one. Storen pitched in danger a little bit, but Ian Desmond, atoning for the earlier error that contributed to the Cardinals one run, made a running, back-handed overhead catch in left field to end the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>The Nats prevailed on two solo home runs &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrIrrelevantDC\/status\/256532144669741056\">a runner never reached scoring position<\/a>. While unorthodox, that proved an effective way to deal with awful hitting with runners in scoring position during this series. <strong>Kyle Loshe<\/strong> pitched well for St. Louis and has nothing to show for it but some attaboys in the dugout.<\/p>\n<p>The series concludes tomorrow with <strong>Gio Gonzalez<\/strong> facing <strong>Adam Wainwright<\/strong> for a trip to the NLCS to face the San Francisco Giants who came back from 2-0 to win 3 straight on the road to eliminate the Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOES THE CREDIT GO TO &#8220;THE MAN IN THE DUGOUT, NOT ON THE 25-MAN ROSTER?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark DeRosa<\/strong>, who is not on the 25 man roster, but still with the team, read aloud the famous &#8220;Man in the Arena&#8221; speech.
