The Washington Nationals defeated the Houston Astros after another late game 7th & 8th inning comeback by a score of 3-2. Another great performance by a starter, another no decision for a starter.
Zimmermann pitched 7 innings of 4 hit baseball with only 1 earned run, 3 strikeouts, and lots of ground balls. Unfortunately for the Nationals they struggle against starters and don't score many runs until they face bullpens so the pitchers don't really get rewarded.
The Nationals once AGAIN scored the tying run on a bases loaded walk. I've never seen so many HUGE runs on wild pitches and bases loaded walks.
In the 7th inning Rick Ankiel hit a double and after a balk by the Houston pitcher, Jaws Bernadina knocked in the game tying run. The Nats and Mattheus gave up the lead again in the 8th, but in the bottom of the 8th after a bunch of walks including a bases loaded game-tying walk, Wilson Ramos hit a game winning sacrifice fly to take the lead.
H-Rod came into the game and finished off the Astros for his 3rd save of the game. No vertigo for Rodriguez.
The Nats are now 10-3...it is early but life is good right now.

Idiots Not From New England Excited For An Exhibition Game
DC Sports Nexus ---- Tuesday, April 3, 2012
OMG. The Red Sox are in town! Let's all go to the ballpark to watch a preseason baseball game!
There are 81 more games this season. 81 games that count. 81 games that have meaning. 81 games that count towards the playoffs. And you took off work to see this?
A bunch of front runners who have never even seen the soil of Boston or Massachusetts have invaded the ballpark for a terrible preseason game. People were asking my company if we have tickets to the Red Sox game. That was the game they chose to try to get tickets for. Unbelievable. Half the people at the ballpark didn't even know this was a preseason game.
Obviously I'm not talking about all the Nats fans that went to the game. For them, taking a day off from work on a beautiful day to check out the team one last time before the regular season starts makes for a great DC sports afternoon. It is always nice to check out the team and go to the ballpark.
But the fact that this could be one of the biggest games of the year is absolutely insane. The Nationals will probably do better this season but if they play poorly a preseason game could be one of the biggest draws.
Basically all you Red Sox fans who's favorite NBA team is the Lakers and favorite football team is the Steelers, you can suck it. Get on a plane. Go fly to Boston. Hell fly to upstate New York. That would be closer than you've ever been.
You went to a preseason game. If I see another Sox fan ask another Sox fan "were you at THE game" I will jump off a cliff. Thank you and enjoy the season!
