Notes & reviews

first hit of the game for the Nationals
Reyes attempted to go from first to third on the bunt when zimmerman fielded the ball on the grass; Guzman ran over and was in front of Reyes as they approcahed the bag; Guzman caught the ball and put his glove behind his back to tag Reyes; the broadcasters talked about how Guzman prevented Reyes from getting to the bag, which was not illegal
