Yesterday's Dodgers vs Nats Game, GIF'd

It would take 39 blog posts to describe what happened during last night's Nats 14 inning victory over the Dodgers. So we'll just let these GIFs do the explaining...

Zimermann Is The Mann

Nationals 2, Braves 0

Ok, we are joking...sort of, but Jordan is en fuego.

A little over 2 weeks ago, Jordan Zimmermann pitched just his 2nd complete game of his career.  It was the first one where he picked up a win.  Then, just 5 days ago, Zimmermann pitched another complete game, this one a 1-hit shutout gem.  So on Wednesday night as Jordan completed the 8th inning, his 5th straight 1-2-3 inning (17 batters in a row) with only 2 hits up on the Braves scoreboard, fans were wondering if Davey would send Zim out to finish the job.

GIFS: Julie Alexandria Gets The Gatorade Again

Julie Alexandria began her on-screen MASN career on Thursday night in a game against the Cincinnati Reds.  Since then, the Nats have started to break out of a slump going 2-0 with two big wins over a tough NL opponent.   When both games ended, Julie ended up walking away completely soaked in Gatorade.

Check out the GIFs of each of the 2 showers and relive what Alexandria is going to have to watch out for over the course of the next several months.

Detwiler Gets 1st Win, Kurt Suzuki Rollin, Nats Beat Fish

Nationals 6, Marlins 1

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9		R	H	E
Nationals	0	2	0	0	1	1	1	0	1		6	11	1
Marlins	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0		1	7	1

Bryce Harper had a Jordan-esque day, Kurt Suzuki continued his hot hitting, and Ross Detwiler pitched nothing like a typical 5th starter to help the Washington Nationals defeat the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Wednesday night and take home the series victory.  The Nats offense got their mojo back and if not for a bad call by an ump at home plate, Detwiler would have picked up the shutout.

Jordan Zimmermann Completes, Nats Crush Marlins

Nationals 10, Marlins 3

Ok...Maybe Jordan Zimmermann didn't complete Jerry Maguire.  But he did complete a game.  Plus he totally had me at Hello Play Ball...

Zimmermann threw 103 pitches on Monday night in Miami.  The way the Nationals season is going you might assume that pitch count was through 6 innings.  If you assumed that, you would be wrong.  Zimmermann logged his 2nd career complete game (the first with a W) in a 10-3 victory over the Marlins.

But Zimmermann wasn't the only story of this baseball game.  The Nationals offense was hitting Marlins pitches like they were giant kickballs.

Bryce Harper Goes Deep, Nats Win

White Sox 2, Nationals 5

Bryce Harper stepped to the plate in the 4th inning and sent a baseball towards outer space, sparking a mid-game rally that helped the Washington Nationals defeat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 on Wednesday night at Nats Park.  But Harper, who has 6 2-hit games in the first 8, wasn't the only one who was on point.
