Game in a nutshell:?Dan Haren (1-1) earned his first win of the season despite a long day in his first appearance before the Nationals' home crowd. He gave up ten hits through five innings, threw 101 pitches, but kept the White Sox to three runs. He even hit a double and scored a lead-taking run in the fourth inning. White Sox pitcher Dylan Axelrod also threw a lot of pitches with 40 in the first inning alone. He ended up with 103 and also got a hit and scored a run.
Hitting highlight:?Ryan Zimmerman had a pretty good day reaching base in each of his first three at-bats. He walked twice to begin the game, then hit a two RBI double in the fourth. The White Sox intentionally walked Bryce Harper (the first of his young career) to put two men on with two outs. Zimmerman then lofted a long fly ball over Alex Rios' head in right field to clear the bases and put the Nats up 6-3.
Pitching highlight:?Ryan Mattheus put in two innings of relief with one earned run, two hits, and three strikeouts. The run was off a double by Adam Dunn, but Mattheus sped the game up and bridged the Nats to the back of their bullpen.
Key stat:?Dan Haren is the 1st DC pitcher to give up 9+ hits in his 1st 2 appearances of a season since Casey Cox of the 1970 Senators. Haren allowed ten through five innings of work tonight.
Up next:?Ross Detwiler takes the ball vs. Justin Upton and the 8-1 Atlanta Braves. Should be an exciting series as the Nats are 7-2 and could take over first in the division.
