Nats fans still feel the desperation in the air as Felix goes back out to the
mound on 3 days rest. However, the 4-1 lead the Twins jump out to in the 2nd
crushes that momentum. Cameron, Kendrick, and Pence all had RBI in the 2nd off
Marquis. Frames 3 through 6 would be empty on both sides with both pitchers
settling in. In the bottom of the 7th, Barmes homers to make it 4-3 and now we
have a game folks. Aceves coms in for the 8th, gets two outs, and then allows
Adam Kennedy to reach on a groundball back to himself that he throws away.
Guess what happens next? Kendrick singles Kennedy in and now it's a 2 run
lead. And then what happens? Papelbon enters for the 9th and Randy Ruiz hits a
solo homer....but that would be it for the Nats. Final Score: Minnesota 5,
Washington 4
