Notes & reviews

Ian Desmond's throw was high and wide to the HP side of the bag; the Nationals thought Adam LaRoche got his foot down before Scott Rolen touched the bag but 1B umpire Mike Everitt ruled safe
the Nationals thought ball four was strike three to Jay Bruce and thought ball two to Ryan Ludwick was strike three
