All feeling of excitement from that 2-0 lead for Nats fans is gone and it's been
replaced with pessimism. All is quiet until the 3rd inning when Hanson walks
Granderson and Zobrist after getting an out to lead off the inning. He gets
Pena to pop up and then the walks come back to haunt the rookie. Carlos Lee
doubles to left center to score them both. Two run lead for the Twinkies. No
big deal, but the REAL Josh Johnson was on the mound in this game. In the 7th,
Rolen and Dye both single to try to rally with two outs, but then Clint Barmes
K's. In the 8th, the Nats get going again, with a 2 out walk and single by Choo
and Holliday, but then Paps comes in and goes to a full count on LaRoche, but
forces a groundout to second base. Do the Nats have a rally left in them?
Will Paps finally look solid in this series? Still only 2-0, and Posada walks
to lead off the 9th. Rolen, Santiago, and Barmes due up. Rolen lines out to
second, Santiago K's. Barmes gets hit by a pitch to keep the Nationals alive.
Brendan Ryan steps to the plate. K. Twins win! Final Score: Minnesota 2,
Washington 0
