"The Washington Nationals got a huge one-run win last night behind the strength of a 7.0 inning gem by Foster Griffin, and a key two-run homer from Jacob Young in a 3-2 win. Now the team is in a position to win the series today and get back to .500."
"With Zack Littell scheduled to start, will we see Richard Lovelady as the opener? The answer is "yes." The bullpen had to use two relievers yesterday due to an error in the 9th inning. Brad Lord was poised to pitch 2.0 innings and get the save, but an error extended the inning and PJ Poulin had to come in."
"Here is a quick look at the use and usage in manager Blake Butera 's bullpen: The FanGraphs WAR chart is accumulating data. This will start to give us a clearer picture in a few more weeks when the sample sizes get larger. The OAA defense stat is now giving us a picture of what the Nats have - and don't have. We will start adding more statistics as the sample sizes get larger."
