Notes & reviews

Nationals right fielder Elijah Dukes left the game due to an injured groin
Debut game for Sergio Escalona
it appeared that Ryan Zimmerman would field the bunt but pitcher Jesus Colome picked it up and threw to 1B; Anderson Hernandez, covering the bag on the sacrifice attempt, appeared to not see the throw, which was right at the bag; Hernandez jumped out of the way of the batter/runner and the ball sailed down the right field line
