Caught with a home run early, but Carrasco is....settled? I think he just retired his ninth in a row.
Make it 10 with 4 strikeouts.
He's our #4 starter.
(but this is the Nationals....)
Not much happening. Carrasco may be done for the day. 5IP, 2H, 1R, retired the final 13 he faced. AKA, the Nats have no hits since the first inning. Half a game to go though.
Cookie ain't done!
okay now he is. Soto is a threat any time. But 15 in a row is quite promising.
and Soto down with a ground ball to 2B. Sweet.
Nido bunted. That success lead to restrategizing from Nimmo. Went down swinging. Now Cano...
Doolittle took down the threat. I think he feels mildly avenged from a few years back when we tossed him around.
8th is getting away from the Mets. Tie game. Alonso with two bad throws.
The bad: bases loaded
The good: two outs and Soto got on with a fielder's choice (vs a base hit).
Welp. 4-2 Nats and I let out an audible word with windows open.
