Notes & reviews

Nationals 2B Danny Espinosa lost the popup in the sun and it fell in untouched about 10 feet out on the grass; the batter, Ryan Braun, was out because of the infield fly ruling; when Carlos Gomez scored, Braun was credited with an RBI but cannot get credit for a sacrifice fly on an infield fly, since a sac fly is a ball hit to the outfield
