Nationals Park - Washington, DC
69-52, 1st Place, 5 games ahead of the Mets
What Happened: Jesus Luzardo was likely left in the ballgame a few batters too many. He pitched six-plus innings, allowing four hits and striking out seven. With his team holding a slim 2-1 lead, Luzardo began the seventh with a walk, double and walk, loading the bases. Orion Kerkering came in and gave up a two-run single to Jose Tena as the Nationals took a 3-2 lead.
Featured Card: Again lacking a logical choice for this game summary post, here's a favorite Nationals card from my Phillies Collection. This one is a little odd as Livan Hernandez led the league in 2004 with nine complete games, but the Expos were on the move to Washington for the 2005 season. We get a Nationals card, but an Expos uniform. Robin Roberts led the league with 22 complete games in 1956.
