Game 2: Two of the best young arms in the game, but one still very unproven.
Twins take a 1-0 lead in the 1st after Adam Kennedy singles to lead off the 
inning and Carlos Lee's groundout scores him three batters later. It took until 
the 4th inning for the Nats to figure out JJ.  Clint Barmes reaches on an infield 
single and steals second. Ryan also reaches on an infield single.  Winn K's, Ryan 
steals 2nd, and Choo scores barmes on a ground out, then Holliday hits a fly 
ball that scores Ryan.  Not exactly thumping the ball.   6th inning comes and 
Barmes and Ryan each have RBI doubles. Nats take a 5-1 lead. Holliday adds an 
RBI single in the 9th and the Nats coast in game 2. Final Score:  Washington 6, 
Minnesota 1
