Well, Nas will be the Manfred Man in the bottom of the 10th when he makes the 3rd out

The infield single early in the game was a clue that VARK should have stopped watching.

Just before I saw Cavalli make that last play and limp down the dugout steps, I was about to ask how the Nats had only two RBIs while Alcantara had given up four earned runs.

Thank you to friends old and new who participated by viewing or posting comments.
With the :w: posted, we honor the memory of our friend Old Chelsea with the traditional post that tracks the Nats wins to date, in Anglophile style.

THE RACING PRECEDENTS: Comparative dates on which the Nationals notched their 65th win of the season, each season:

2016 - 5th August (109th match of season)
2012 - 5th August (112th match)
2017 - 6th August (109th match)
2014 - 13th August (118th match)
2019 - 14th August (120th match)
2005 - 22nd August (124th match)
2018 - 26th August (131st match)
2015 - 29th August (128th match)
2013 - 29th August (129th match)
2026 - 29th August (138th match)
2011 - 5th September (139th match)
2007 - 10th September (144th match)
2023 - 11th September (144th match)
2024 - 11th September (145th match)
2006 - 17th September (145th match)
2010 - 23rd September (153rd match)
2025 - 24th September (159th match)
2021 - 27th September (157th match)
---
2022- finished 55-107 (.340)
2009 - finished 59-103 (.364)
2008 - finished 59-102 (.366)
2020 - finished 26-34 (.433)

#65 was the last win of 2021.
Team 2025 topped out at 66 wins.
The last Expos team won 67 games.
After that, there's 5 season between 69 and 73 wins - 2006-07, 2010, and 2023-24. With 24 games left, 9-15 passes those 5 clubs.

Crews did not get an RBI for when he singled and Mack made a throwing error that allowed 2 runs to score. Alcantara was charged with 4 earned runs because all 4 of the runners that scored reached on hits or a walk and would have eventually scored on the House single and the Vivas double (Vivas doubling in House).
