Rare 12:30 afternoon game. I like our chances in this one!

Stras Ks two in the first after allowing an infield hit.

"Mary" Tyler Moore with a nice clutch hit!

Two runs could be enough the way Strasburg has pitched lately.

Two runs could be enough, but I'd be a lot happier with, say, twelve.

And with 4 Ks, the kid temporarily takes the Major League lead with 96 Ks in just 73 innings.

Ouch, 2-2 now, and his pitch count is climbing a little too quickly.

Wow, Moore with a two run homer now. Kid having himself a monster!

As much as I hate the fact that Jose Bautista clobbered that homer off of Stras, I have to say that I like the fact that he's still clobbering homers in general.

7 Ks, 72 pitches through five.

Another home run for Tyler Moore!! This is probably going to be the career day he remembers most for the rest of his life.

Desmond with an insurance bomb. He was definitely due for one too.

Assuming this score holds up, the Nats will have run up a 6-0 record over the first half of their long swing through the AL East in June. Meaning they'll already have guaranteed a .500 record during what was supposed to be the hardest, most grueling block of their schedule.

I'm not optimistic that we'll be anywhere nearly as dominant against the Yanks and the Rays, but if we can manage to just take 3 out of those 6 then this trip will have been wildly successful.

One more inning...

And that's it; 15 games over .500. I sure as heck wasn't expecting a 6-0 road trip, but I'll take it!
