Punchless Nats Waste Another Solid Start<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Not a swinging affair<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Close loss opens up Nats’ eyes<\/b><\/a> – The Free Lance-Star<\/i>
Phillies end a few skids<\/b><\/a> – The Inky<\/i>
Dobbs comes through in pinch for Phillies against Nationals<\/b><\/a> – Philly Daily News<\/i>
Jason Bergmann<\/span> and the Phillies’ Cole Hamels<\/span> both left the game having shut out the opposition for 7 innings. Bergmann has yet to give up a run in the fourteen innings he has pitched since returning from AAA Columbus. Hamels and the bullpen struck out 13 Nationals batters.<\/p>\n

The pivotal inning proved to be the ninth as Pedro Feliz<\/span> doubled for Philadelphia off of Washington’s Jon Rauch<\/span>, then working on a 12 inning scoreless steak. Eric Bruntlett<\/span> ran for Feliz. After being sacrificed to third by Carlos Ruiz<\/span>, Bruntlett scored on PH Greg Dobbs<\/span> single. That was all that was needed for the Fleas to take the win.<\/p>\n

The Nats had two baserunners with 2 outs in the ninth, courtesy of two Brad Lidge walks, but Felipe Lopez<\/span> swung at the first pitch and grounded out to end the game.<\/p>\n

Other notes – good plays on foul balls near the stands by both Ryan Zimmerman<\/span> and Dmitri Young<\/span> last night. Elijah Dukes<\/span> walked twice and in the ninth, stole two bases to put the winning run 90 feet away.<\/p>\n

Versatile Harris Moves In While Belliard’s Out<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The Nats ultimate utility player, Willie Harris<\/span>, will can play the middle infield, a luxury that allows the Nats to carry an extra arm in the bullpen while Ronnie Belliard<\/span> is on the DL.<\/p>\n

Elbow remains just inflamed for Estrada<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
C Johnny Estrada got good news from Dr. James Andrews yesterday — his inflamed elbow is just that and nothing more. He is looking at another month or so of recovery.<\/p>\n

Kearns’ elbow requires rest<\/b><\/a> – The Free Lance-Star<\/i>
RF Austin Kearns<\/span> is still listed as day-to-day with a sore right elbow.<\/p>\n

Marrero has first adversity<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
For the first time in his life, Chris Marrero<\/span> is struggling at baseball. The Nats 2006 #1 pick is having a tough time down at A-Potomac. Before you get too concerned, remember that he is only 19.<\/p>\n

I finally finished the logo for this year’s Cheesesteak\/Half-Smoke Challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I still lead it 3-2.<\/p>\n

Washington Nationals<\/a>, Nats<\/a>, Phillies<\/a><\/p>\n
