Go get him now, Blake

Good for Butera. He doesn’t mess around.

Perfect spot on that heater for strike three.

Keibert with a nice homage to Rory.

PNC Park is a house of horrors for the Nats. They never play well there.

[OfftheBat]

Cavalli is awful

Respect for the 2.2 IP out of Schultz. 35 pitches

Goodnight everyone.

Looks like it's one of those games. Rutledge & Cavalli throwing BP out there lmao

I think it was always planned to be a 1 game stay for Rutledge. Was supposed to suck up innings in a blow out. Instead, he just sux
