Nationals fans are excited as they realize they just need 2 of 3 at home and the 
upset is on!   Twins score 1 in the first on a 2 out Carlos Lee single. They add 
3 more on a Mike Cameron 3 run jack.  Ouch.  Crowd is quiet.  LaRoche homers in 
the 4th to cut the lead to 4-2. JdlR settles down for an inning until he faces 
Cameron again.  Same result, but this time a solo shot. In comes iron man Aceves 
to hopefully give the Nats a chance to stay in the game.  Zobrist walk, Lee 
double, Gomes homer.  So much for that idea. Brian Stokes came in to see what he 
could do.....and he did a good job until he faced Carlos Lee.  3 run homer.  
Okay, so much for this game.  Final Score: Minnesota 11, Washington 2
