00:0031 homers last season drove in 94 pulls this foul past the first base coach Corey Ray.
00:07Wood has struck out and grounded out. He's won for 12 in the series.
00:12He's reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games.
00:17And in those 10 games, three doubles, four homers, 10 walks, 11 RBIs.
00:24Struck him out.
00:26After walking Nunez, he strikes out wood on
00:32four pitches.
00:36Six Ks.
00:40And here's Luis Garcia Jr.
00:54Well, one hopper back to the mound.
01:08Oh, boy, 2-0.
01:13And he can be had in terms of double plays, hit into a dozen of them a couple years ago.
01:20Seven last year.
01:21Hasn't hit into one this year.
01:24And, oh, gets a strike call.
01:28I don't know.
01:36Two and one.
01:40Two and two.
01:47Passcraft
01:50trying to find a way to keep these Nats off the board.
01:57Hit by pitch, double walk, then the strikeout, and a 2-2 pitch to Garcia.
02:03Tapper towards short.
02:05And they get...
02:07Oh, my!
02:08Safe at second and thrown away.
02:11And this is going to score three runs and a disaster on the ground ball to Connor Griffin.
02:22Unless they rule that that slide is illegal, they can challenge that.
02:29That's the only hope the Pirates have right now.
02:32They will challenge it.
02:35And now they have a bona fide slide at second.
02:44And they might have a case.
02:47It looked like the right arm of Nunez went up.
02:51Pittsburgh is challenging the safe ball at second.
02:59They're also challenging whether he's not out at second base anyway.
03:05All that would do would eliminate one run.
03:09Still...
03:11You know, they could get an out.
03:12It would be the second out.
03:14But...
03:14Meebos and Millis still score.
03:27It's a fielder's choice.
03:31World safe at second.
03:33A three-run score on the ball that's thrown away now.
03:40Did Connor Griffin touch the bag before Nunez arrived?
03:46I think they've got a case there, Bob.
03:49Don't you?
03:50I don't know.
03:53I've seen too much baseball over the years saying, no, case for what?
03:59But nowadays...
04:00A runner has to make contact with the ground before the base.
04:04This attempt to reach and slide within reach of the base
04:08without changing their path to initiate contact with a fielder.
04:11I mean, he just slid basically with his body right over the top of the base.
04:17Yeah, a runner cannot roll into a fielder or initiate contact
04:21by elevating, kicking a leg above the fielder's knee.
04:32He definitely tried to give him a little bit of a push there in the backside with his right hand.
04:39Right there.
04:40Kind of slaps at him.
04:41You're also not allowed to slide too far beyond or slide the base to make contact with the infielder.
04:46It's a good sign that they're thinking about this for so long.
04:50I mean, they're really taking their time on this.
04:53So I take that as they possibly see something wrong here.
05:02You can't make intentional contact, basically.
05:06If you do, that's an illegal slide.
05:08So two things, I think, come into play.
05:09Is he out at second?
05:11After a view, the call in the field stands are under safe.
05:14Pittsburgh will lose their challenge.
05:17Wow.
05:19Three-run score on that ground ball.
05:23No, and they don't get an out.
05:25When it was hit, you're thinking it's a double play ball.
05:28We're out of the inning.
05:31Wow.
05:33Fielder's Choice gets one RBI.
05:35Error on the shortstop, Connor Griffin.
05:40I was a little surprised that he chose to take the ball to bag himself.
05:53Because the angle he was going to have to go to the bag was going to make it almost impossible
05:57for him to get off a good throw to first.
06:06Garcia at second, still one out.
06:08And now a pickoff and thrown into center field.
06:15Another error.
06:16And it's 4-0.
06:21This inning has turned into a mess.
06:29Now, I'm assuming somebody down there, I mean, we can't hear, but somebody's got to be yelling at him to
06:34step off.
06:35As soon as the runner breaks for third.
06:38Because he's not looking.
06:39He doesn't know that's going on.
06:43Now, if there's some kind of a pickoff player on, I mean, he's doing the right thing.
06:46He's going through what he's been taught to do on the pickoff play.
06:52But while he's holding the ball there, the runners head to third.
06:59Well, it all started this inning with that.
07:01It seemed like an innocent pitch inside that clipped the leadoff batter of Vivas.
07:06And you take another look at the air and throw, Ashcraft, the air.
07:11Two errors.
07:21Back-to-back plays.
07:22Garcia scoring.
07:26And a credit for the RBI on the ground ball to Griffin.
07:30He goes to second on the air and throw two more runs scored.
07:33A bouncing ball to third.
07:36Brady House is the second out.
07:39Gonzalez to York.
07:43A lot of pitches this inning, too, for Ashcraft.
07:45Oh, yeah.
07:45He might be done after this.
07:49They get 50-something when the inning started.
07:53I just think that's what he had.
08:06Galen Lyle.
08:13Evan Sisk starts to loosen in the Pirates' bullpen.
08:17Pop-up.
08:18Shallow left.
08:20Cook.
08:22Now the Pirates need to do something offensively as a four-score.
08:26Scoreboard Pirates baseball is presented by UPMC,
08:29the official health care provider of sports coverage on SNP.
08:33Three unearned runs.
08:36Two throwing errors in the inning.
08:38And Connor Griffin shows bunt against the lefty, Foster Griffin.
08:43Ball one.
08:47Strikeout victim in the second inning.
08:56Bullpen's quiet, too.
08:58They're going to let Ashcraft go out and throw another one, at least, it looks like.
09:04If they were going to pull him after five,
09:06they would have somebody warming up right now.
09:13Looking for a lead-off baserunner here.
09:16He was called
09:18a 2-1 pitch and now 2-2 as Griffin almost
09:24loses his balance, 2-2.
09:36He almost twisted his ankle a little bit there.
09:39Looks okay now.
09:41Cold time.
09:48One hot shot in the dirt.
09:52A little pick.
10:21Cook is going to reach.
10:26Find a way.
10:29Smart baseball.
10:36Obviously, we need to
10:38base winners right now.
10:39We're down a bunch.
10:42We're going to play deep.
10:45He probably
10:48didn't want to pop it up like that,
10:50but as it was, it was perfect
10:52because he didn't pop it up high enough
10:54for anyone to catch it.
10:56But when it falls and hits the grass,
10:58it's not going anywhere.
10:59It just laid there.
11:00So,
11:01it turned out to be an outstanding one.
11:05Yeah, we're down by four, so
11:09we need a couple of baserunners
11:10and we need someone to get a big hit.
11:15Mangum
11:18hit off the bottom of the first inning
11:19with a base hit.
11:20Fly ball that dropped in front of the left fielder.
11:34And look at that piece of hitting from Jake Mangum.
11:38First and second.
11:41That looked intentional.
11:43Oh, yeah, definitely intentional.
11:49So, that breaking ball coming from outside.
11:53Take it right back that direction.
11:58Back.
12:01To having two men on.
12:04Getting baserunners on has not been a problem.
12:07Doing something against them once we do that.
12:19And Gonzalez comes to the plate
12:21for the first time with Vanna in scoring position today.
12:26Could not hold up.
12:31He's in the hole 0-2.
12:51Still 1-2 on
12:53Nick Gonzalez.
12:56And a ground single
12:57through the left side of the infield
12:59in the first.
13:00And then grounded to the shortstop,
13:02Abrams, his last time up.
13:15And now O'Neal Cruz, who has struck out and singled.
13:16Called third strike.
13:18Second out.
13:21And now O'Neal Cruz, who has struck out and singled.
13:24Last year against the Washington Nationals.
13:27O'Neal Cruz homered.
13:35His first career grand slam.
13:38Well, two on.
13:49Pitcher's called a ball.
13:50Catcher's challenging.
13:54ABS powered by T-Mobile.
13:59Pitch the strike.
14:03That's challenged.
14:04The pitch was indeed a strike.
14:16That's got to be the, I think,
14:17the toughest one for the catcher
14:18to make the decision on.
14:21High and low pitches.
14:23Oh, my.
14:25Another back-to-back.
14:27And this one is a borderline high, I think.
14:32Good call.
14:33And it is high.
14:33It's the ball.
14:34Washington has one remaining.
14:40Because, you know, the in and out,
14:42that doesn't change.
14:42It's the same with everybody that steps up there.
14:45But everybody has an individual type strike zone.
14:49Line drive right field.
14:51And that gets down in a hurry.
14:54O'Neal Cruz into second base.
14:59119 miles an hour.
15:01The double gets the Bucs on the board.
15:04Cook scores.
15:05Mangum to third.
15:09Lance ball, it almost looks like the first bounce,
15:12like it picks up speed.
15:14It accelerates past the outfielder.
15:22Man.
15:30Cruz with two hits off Griffin,
15:33his last two times up,
15:34and that one blistered to right.
15:39Picks up RBI number 17.
15:43Scoring Cook.
15:47And Osuna comes to the plate.
15:50Four doubles for Cruz.
15:51That's the first hit allowed by Foster Griffin
15:54with a man in scoring position
15:59in 17 at-bats.
16:01He's been dancing around the raindrops.
16:05One final got him.
16:08Ball won the hardest hit ball
16:10in Major League Baseball this year.
16:12Just now.
16:15O'Neal Cruz.
16:30Really good to see that
16:32after
16:34some of the at-bats
16:36in the last couple games of this series.
16:40One ball, one strike.
16:44Drive to left field
16:46and the Big Bear
16:47hits a big bob
16:49off the foul pole.
16:52Clear the deck.
16:54Cannonball coming.
16:56Osuna ties it up
16:58with his first pirate home run.
17:01He is out of hibernation.
17:04Greg, I think that hit off the rotunda.
17:08It is 4-4.
17:11What a bomb this thing was.
17:14My goodness.
17:20How about the distance on that, baby?
17:22That's a way to answer.
17:244-23
17:26for his first pirate home run.
17:33How about the last two hits
17:35by Cruz and Osuna?
17:39Four-four and
17:41four-four and
17:42the bear
17:43dons
17:45the welder's hood.
17:51Wow.
17:53No need to run.
17:55Yeah.
17:57Just stand there
17:58and watch how far it goes.
18:07Man, what a blast.
18:08Let's see where it hits, Bob.
18:12He hit the third level of the rotunda.
18:15How?
18:16And there's a line drive that's gonna hook a foul.
18:18He hit the third level.
18:23Raxton Ashcraft.
18:25Yeah.
18:27You betcha.
18:31Fly on out of here.
18:34Well, that gets the Nationals' attention.
18:36They get the bullpen working.
18:39O'Neal Cruz
18:42doubles home the first run
18:43and Osuna.
18:53Marcelo
18:54Osuna
18:54the last three games now.
18:57Two for four
18:58with a ribby on Tuesday.
18:59His first RBI.
19:00Last night
19:01RBI first hitting
19:02single to right.
19:03And here
19:04shot foul
19:05the other way by York.
19:14Yeah, you're right.
19:15Hit it off the railing
19:16of the rotunda.
19:17Not off the foul pole
19:18but the second level.
19:19You know,
19:20they keep track
19:21and we understand
19:21about the
19:23balls in the Allegheny.
19:25But what they have not
19:26kept track of
19:27over the years
19:28is balls that hit
19:29that rotunda
19:29and so few
19:30have done that.
19:32That's what
19:33Marcelo Osuna
19:34yeah
19:35filmed this.
19:374-4.
19:38That home run
19:39an impressive
19:42423 feet.
19:43It actually hit
19:43the third
19:45rung of the rotunda.
19:46Zoom in.
19:50This is not
19:51exaggeration.
19:52There have been
19:52less than
19:5310 balls hit
19:54that far
19:55to left field
19:57in the history
19:58of this ballpark.
20:01If that ball
20:02was just a little bit
20:03further to the
20:04right
20:05I would have liked
20:06to seen
20:06you know
20:07in the upper
20:08the upper deck
20:09of those bleachers
20:10in left field
20:11how far up
20:12of those
20:13that ball
20:13would have went
20:14it might have
20:15made it up there
20:15by where the
20:16windows are.
20:24Ashcraft out
20:25for this
20:27sixth inning

21:35somebody can
21:36get a big hit
21:37now most times
21:38when you say big hit
21:39you're thinking
21:39okay a double

21:58kind of letting
21:58everybody know
21:59that he wasn't
22:00panicking
22:00we shouldn't panic
22:02about his

22:53real hard slider
22:54of his
22:59that strikeout
23:01presented by coppers
23:02protecting what matters
23:02preserving the future
23:06you know why nobody
23:07throws hard sliders
23:08like as they were
23:10why
23:11because they
23:12name them cutters
23:16that's pretty factual
23:23sharply hit
23:24sharply hit into right
23:24by Vivas
23:34Drew Millis is two for two
23:36and he will not face
23:37Ashcraft
23:38Ashcraft
23:39and Kelly will turn
23:40him around
23:42looks like
23:42to call on the
23:43lefty
23:46he hasn't
23:47motioned to the pen
23:47just yet
23:50see what he does
23:53Kelly has done
23:53this on occasion

23:56no
23:57that's gonna be it
23:58alright
23:58now he wants
23:59to assist
24:00so Ashcraft
24:02those five and two thirds
24:04tries to talk
24:05his manager out of it
24:07keep him in the ball
24:08you can trust
24:10Joey Weimer
24:11will pinch hit
24:11for the Nats
24:12against the lefty
24:13Evan Sisk
24:15just one game
24:16so far
24:18it's good
24:19Sisk has been
24:20called up
24:31Weimer
24:345 for
24:3519
24:36versus
24:40righties
24:40and he is
24:427 for
24:4417
24:45a 4-12
24:46average
24:46against lefties
24:49strike one
24:54Sisk made

24:5626 Pirates

25:04struck out
25:05Weimer
25:06fly ball
25:07to right
25:08diving attempt
25:09but can't
25:10get there
25:11Mangum up
25:11with it quickly
25:12runner
25:13going to be
25:13waved
25:13he throws
25:14to second
25:14and they
25:15take the lead
25:16on the double
25:16the pinch hit
25:17double by
25:18Joey Weimer
25:19off of the lefty
25:20Evan Sisk
25:21it's 5
25:225-4 Washington
25:23I think you got to throw home on this don't you I thought so I'm like it's going to be
25:41a double so why bother throwing at the second whether he assumed that the run was going to score I
25:47don't know
25:54the guy that the guy going to run two bases the scoring was going to run three
25:59the score was going to run three run charge to Ashcraft I don't know if they got him I mean
26:08they have a play at the plate on if he's out or not but if he fires to hit the
26:14cutoff man who was lined up for home
26:18I think they at least have a chance at stopping that go ahead run I agree now Ashcraft was giving
26:26up five runs on the day
26:33two earned
26:34two earned
26:36this is the pitcher record though
26:40so that was the decision you're going to either have Ashcraft face millis a third time and millis had single
26:47to left double to right
26:49or bring in a lefty and you knew that the Nats were going to counter with Joey Weimer
26:54the 4-12 average versus lefties
26:585-4 game
27:00I've seen Nunez
27:07walked
27:08and scored
27:10on that throwing error by Connor Griffin in the fifth inning
27:26no go three and two
27:35just stopped at that time
27:44three and two
27:48there he went
27:50Sisk strikes out Nunez but gives up the
27:52pinch hit RBI double and the Nats regains to a partnership with Fanatics but

28:39sweet 0-2 ground ball and oh what a play at first base by Garcia to Rob Lau Foster Griffin
28:48there
28:53off the bat you're thinking maybe could be double
29:01right down the line on the chalk
29:07it's going to be it
29:09with Julie Bart coming to the plate
29:13rookie skipper Blake Butera wanted
29:17his lefty Griffin to face Lau one more time
29:21and now
29:22the Nats call on the bullpen leading it by a run
29:27in the sixth
29:28Tony Beasley
29:29thought that play perhaps in the right field corner
29:34Paxton Schultz
29:36pitched
29:37on Monday two and two-thirds innings against the Pirates in relief of Cade Cavalli
29:42which is four and two-thirds on the season
29:47he gave up a home run to Spencer Horowitz
29:51a base hit to O'Neal Cruz other than that
29:56nothing
29:58didn't walk a man struck out four against the Pirates on Monday and going the other way
30:03I don't know one pitch Joey Bart
30:16breaking ball was up and in
30:17breaking ball was up and in
30:34nine hits for the Pirates now
30:40Oh
30:40oh
30:59drive to center field that was hit hard to center back and off the top of the wall
31:05Joey Bartz is going to be waved around third.
31:09Here's the throw.
31:10He will score on the trip, trip, triple by Connor Griffin to tie the game.
31:20That's going to make Connor feel a lot better.
31:26First triple of his young career.
31:30They got a break the ball, looked like a slider out over the plate.
31:37That's, oh, Greg, that was only maybe six inches at most from the top of the fence.
31:45Bart going to wait to see if that ball was going to fall in, and then he stumbled going around
31:50second.
31:52But they're still able to score easily with the throw coming in pretty late.
31:58Fired up, Connor Griffin, the kid.
32:04Well, he's that cone.
32:09Triples off the wall in center field.
32:12You know, if Joey Bartz not in front of him, that speed showed off, didn't it?
32:19If that ball bounced hard off the padded wall.
32:25Infield in, pinch hitter is Spencer Horowitz.
32:29Chance to take the lead.
32:31Horowitz homered off Schultz on Monday.
32:35And bounces this ball.
32:37Here comes Griffin to the plate.
32:38He's going to be out.
32:40With the infield in, he's tagged out.
32:43Well, the game remains tied at five.
32:52A little bit of a gamble there.
32:54They play, I guess, a run on contact, although he did kind of hesitate for a moment.
33:00A lot of times, you won't do that with nobody out.
33:02You'll wait until there's one out to have the contact play on.
33:11HN Supermo look.
33:18Tag made by catcher Kiberg Ruiz.
33:22Connor Griffin gets the RBI triple thrown out by the second baseman, Nunez.
33:32And a new pitcher coming on for the Nats.
33:43That's a home run in seven other ballparks, and you see him react and acknowledge the hoisting of the cone
33:49of his teammates in the dugout.
33:53So he'll have to wait for his first big league homer that close, but his first major league triple ties
34:00it.
34:01And now another lefty, and he was the opener, P.J. Poland, the other night.
34:12Mangum back on that right side, as he was in his first three at-bats against the starter Foster Griffin.
34:46Mangum back off the bottom of the first inning against the starter Foster Griffin and hit a
34:50fly ball that dropped in front of the left fielder.
34:52Johan Ramirez will be the new pitcher for the Pirates.
34:55Mangum flied out in the third and singled the other way in the fifth.
35:01Ground ball, base hit.
35:03Jake Mangum.
35:05He's three for four.
35:08It's got to be at least the third time today we've hit that hole.
35:11Yeah.
35:16It might be Mangum's second.
35:26Mangum, the base hit to left.
35:28Yeah, Nick Gonzalez had a ground ball through the left side of the infield when he came to the plate
35:33in the first inning.
35:36Two on, two outs.
35:53Pirates tied it in the bottom of the fifth inning.
35:57O'Neal Cruz RBI double, the home run by Marcelo Suna.
36:01And that's pick up that run in the top half of this sixth inning.
36:08Line drive right field and that's down.
36:12Runner wave.
36:13Ball dropped by Woods.
36:15Headed to second.
36:16And he is out at second base.
36:19But he'll get credit for the RBI single that gives the Pirates the lead.
36:24As presented by UPMC, the official health care provider of sports coverage on SNP.
36:33Nick Gonzalez, the base hit to right.
36:37Now batting right field for James Bull.
36:40Now batting right field for James Bull.
36:51Early in this game, Greg, we couldn't get a clutch hit.
36:55Now they're all over the place.
36:56Wild.
37:01Jake Mangum moves from.
37:04Take a look here.
37:05Langham now out in left.
37:09Nick York is out in right.
37:13Going from first base and Spencer Horwitz at first.
37:232-1 the count.
37:25James Wood is 0-3 against starter Braxton Ashcraft.
37:342-2 sent along a happy birthday wish to Jerry Gmeiter.
37:42Kevin worked with us for a lot of years.
37:44Her husband and kind enough to take her to a ball game today.
37:49What a day to come though ball game.
37:53He's hit for James Wood on the 2-2 pitch.
38:05He's going to come to the plate against Sisk.
38:12No, we're going to actually pinch hit Curtis Mead.
38:16Righty batter.
38:19See if we make a counter move here.
38:25Mead is looking to the dugout.
38:28Here comes Donnie.
38:35Johan Ramirez.
38:37Here in the 7th inning.
38:39Coming on with nobody out.
38:42Pirates leading 6-5.
38:48Nats with a 4 spot in the 5th.
38:50Two throwing errors by the Pirates.
38:52Three unearned runs to give the Nats the 4-0 lead.
38:55The Pirates tie at the bottom of the 4th.
38:56Home run by Marcelo Suna.
38:59Nats get the lead back top of the 6th.
39:01And the Pirates scored 2 in the bottom of the 6th inning.
39:04And now it's Johan Ramirez after the leadoff hit by Wood.
39:07Let's see his numbers brought to you by Valvoline.
39:15Ramirez 2 scoreless innings on Tuesday.
39:18In fact, 2 perfect innings of relief.
39:30Mead, the pinch hitter, or Garcia.
39:40A couple strikes on him.
40:01A half-swing pop-up shallow right.
40:04And then there's York.
40:05A half-swing pop-up shallow right there.
40:06Nice jump on that.
40:13That's one you see it hit.
40:15Come on, get there and got there easily.
40:27Greg, have the old ballparks and circular parks with the way they would affect the wind.
40:36Be blown one way, way up high on top and the other way down on the field.
40:42Kind of this ballpark has that same effect.
40:44I just watched like a hot dog wrapper float about maybe 50 feet above the field from our dugout to
40:52their dugout.
40:54And the flags are blowing hard the opposite direction.
40:58Even in a kind of an open stadium, you still get those Eddie's things that the infielders have to deal
41:07with on those pop flies.
41:12But the wind looks like it's just like really blowing strong, just straight out the left.
41:19But obviously a pop fly around the home plate on the home plate area.
41:24That might not be the case.
41:28Yeah, he did.
41:32Yeah, it is gusting up to about 28 to 30 miles an hour now.
41:44Now, even now on Brady House.
41:48Well, there they are.
41:50That's what you're talking about.
41:51You can see where that hot dog wrapper went from our side to their side.
41:55And that's as you go higher and higher.
41:58It's like a heartbeat.
42:00Oh, strikeout on the slider.
42:05That wind helping the slider break.
42:19That's what the plate.
42:32Ball dropping in the left.
42:34Fair ball.
42:36Fair hand play made by Mangum.
42:38Throw to her.
42:38Second and safe.
42:48Daylon Lyle just does get into second base.
42:55A double.
42:58Mangum did everything he could.
43:01Good quick tag.
43:02It just, it was there.
43:05And now two outs.
43:06First base is open.
43:07I can't believe they will pitch to Abrams.
43:11C.J. Abrams.
43:12Jacob Young, right-hand hitter on deck.
43:14They're going to intentionally walk him.
43:18Makes all the sense in the world.
43:24He's a guy you don't want to beat you.
43:26You don't want to pitch to him with the game on the line.
43:35Ramirez will face Jacob Young with the bases loaded and two outs.
43:38Ideally, get this last out.
43:40And then Abram doesn't hit the rest of the game.
43:49Oh, interesting decision.
43:50Trying to bunt for a hit.
43:54Hmm.
43:55When you see that, Bob, as you're the pitcher, don't you think, like, wow, he really doesn't think he can
44:02hit me.
44:05Yeah, you know, I'm not really sure what to think on that one if I'm out on the mound.
44:09It's because the go-ahead run here late in the game is at second base.
44:13Yeah.
44:14Going to try and bunt for a base hit.
44:17I'm not sure what to take from that.
44:19That's 0-2.
44:21Jacob Young, who homered on Monday, 0-3 against Ashcraft with two strikeouts.
44:26Yeah, plus, if it's a bad bunt, like, you know, kind of back toward the mound a little bit close,
44:34they didn't even have to throw you out.
44:35It's a force-out.
44:36Oh, no!
44:37He's hit by the pitch on an 0-2 offering, and the game is tied.
44:43This game is crazy.
44:46And he was smoked.
44:49Yes.
44:50It's a tie game.
44:53Jacob Young hit by a 97-mile-per-hour pitch.
44:57It was 0-2.
45:02And it's tied up again.
45:12Tough way to get an RBI.
45:25Wood scores.
45:28He led off with a base hit.
45:31Off Sisk.
45:33Lyle doubled Wood to third.
45:36He moves to third now.
45:39Abrams has walked intentionally.
45:40He's at second.
45:41And Young, if he can continue in this game, will be at first, or else it'll be a pinch runner.
45:47Jorbit Vivas coming to the plate.
46:05At the back of his left hand, originally.
46:16A lot of those.
46:19Gloves nowadays have a little padding on the back there, the lead hand.
46:23I don't know if that one did or not.
46:26Try and protect those.
46:31Bones on the back of your hand.
46:34Get one of those cracked and you're out for a month.
46:38Get one of those cracked and you're out for a month.
46:53Jorbit Vivas.
46:56He was hit by a pitch in the fifth against Braxton Ashcraft and scored the first run of the game.
47:01Singled and scored last inning.
47:16Gus Varland up in the Nats' bullpen.
47:20Varland got the save on Tuesday.
47:28Ramirez needs to get Vivas and keep this game now tied at six.
47:37That run charged to Evan Sisk.
47:40Run charged to Evan Sisk.
47:56One and two.
47:58One and two.
48:26Oh my goodness, another run scores this time on a wild pitch and the Nats have the lead 7-6.
48:33I don't know how that didn't hit him.
48:35One and three.
48:38Ah, B-E-S-F-F-F.
48:49Twinslis Lex.
48:52This is just this down.
49:00That's what's going on and what's going on and this is.
