Washington Nationals Baseball Blog » Tim Redding http://www.nationalshomeplate.com A blog about Washington Nationals Baseball Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:51:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Nationals fall to the Marlins 9-4 http://www.nationalshomeplate.com/nationals-fall-to-the-marlins-9-4/ http://www.nationalshomeplate.com/nationals-fall-to-the-marlins-9-4/#comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:44:04 +0000 NationsNational http://www.nationalshomeplate.com/?p=68 The Florida Marlins got the best of the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night as they lost by the score of 9-4. It was the first win for the Marlins in their last five games and they pretty much had control of the Nationals all night long.

Tim Redding took the loss after only lasting 2 2/3 innings. Redding was rocked for seven hits and seven runs in the game as he didn’t have it from the beginning of the game. Levale Speigner was also bad in the game as he was charged with three hits and two runs. Not that Speigner’s runs would have matters because Redding sucked it up so bad.

Emilio Bonifacio, Alberto Gonzalez, Pete Orr, and Wil Nieves all had rbi’s for the Nationals but it wasn’t even close to being enough to pull out the victory.

The Nationals can win the series with a victory over the Marlins on Thursday however. I expect them to pull out a win somehow as they play their final game at home for the 2008 season.

It was the second night in a row that the Nationals beat the Dodgers and now they will be going for the sweep on Thursday. The 5-4 victory over the Dodgers improved the Nationals record to 48-85 on the season.

Redding was good as he pitched six innings. He allowed eight hits and three runs in the game while improving to 9-8 on the year. All three runs that Redding gave up were solo home runs. He did get lucky that they were all solo shots that is for sure. Saul Rivera gave up one run and then Joel Hanrahan pitched 1 1/3 innings to get his sixth save of the season.

Ryan Zimmerman had a solo home run for the Nationals as he was the only Nats player to go deep in the game. Lastings Milledge, Ronnie Belliard, and Jesus Flores all added rbi’s as well in the game for the Nationals.

Tim Redding was hammered for ten hits and seven runs as the took the loss.  Redding lasted just four innings in the game as he has a very bad outing.  Steven Shell pitched the next three innnings and allowed one more run to score.  Luis Ayala and Jesus Colome finished things up on the mound in the eighth and ninth innings.

On the mound for the Nationals, Willie Harris and Jesus Flores both hit home runs.  Flores finished the game with two rbi while Harris, Lastings Milledge, and Ryan Zimmerman all finished with one rbi each.

I should let everyone know that I will be out of town until August 12th and will not be able to update the blog until I get back.  If there is a Nationals fan out there that reads the blog and wants to try doing some game recaps please use the contact us link at the top and send me a email.

Thanks – Cliff

The Nats offense was only able to come up with four hits in the game.  Matt Cain threw all nine innings against them.  The guys just couldn’t get the bats going at all to score any runs.

It was awesome effort out of starting pitcher Tim Redding however.  Redding took the loss but he threw all eight innings while only giving up seven hits and the one run.  The run came in the bottom of the 8th inning when Dave Roberts singled in Eugenio Velez for what would be the game winning run.

The Nationals will stay out on the West coast and will begin a series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.  Hopefully they can improve and win atleast one game in that series.  Nationals Baseball

Starting pitcher Tim Redding pitched the first five innings of the game and gave up eight hits and four runs.  The middle relief of the Nationals did really good as Jesus Colome and Saul Rivera pitched a combined three scoreless innings before Rauch blew the game.

The Nationals got four seperate rbi’s from four different players in the game.  Cristian Guzman, Elijah Dukes, Dmitri Young, and Willie Harris all had a rbi in the game.  Dukes rbi came via the long ball as he hit a solo home run in the fifth inning.

The Nationals will just have to forget about this game and get out there and pick up a victory on Tuesday.  Hopefully they can do that.  Nationals Blog

Lastings Milledge led the Nationals at the plate with two rbi.  Both of Milledge’s rbi’s came in the first inning when he connected on a two run home run.  Ronnie Belliard walked with the bases loaded in the sixth inning to record one rbi and then Wily Mo Pena singled in the sixth inning to score another run and pick up a rbi.

Jon Rauch ended up picking up the victory for the Nationals as he pitched the final 1 2/3 innings of the game.  Rauch is now 4-1 on the season.  Even though Rauch picked up the win, he gave up the tying run in the top of the ninth inning so he actually received a blown save as well.

Nationals starting pitcher Tim Redding gave up seven hits and two runs over six innings of action to get a no decision in the game.  Saul Rivera pitched a scoreless inning of relief before Luis Ayala gave up two hits and two runs.  It seemed like the pitching staff just wanted to give this game away and they were lucky to come away with the win.

Are you a Nationals fan that watches or listens to most of the game?  Familar with box scores and game recaps?  Nationalshomeplate is currently looking for a new contibuter that can blog about the Nats and do some game recaps as well.  If you are interested please contact us by leaving a commend or using the contact us link on the site and we will get back to you!

After Jon Rauch gave up two runs in the ninth inning to blow the save, Brian Sanches gave up a home run to Joe Mather and it looked like the Nationals were going to lose for sure.  That is when Dukes bailed out his pitching teammates.  You always try to pick up your teammates if they have a bad day and that is exactly what Dukes did.  Sanches actually ended up getting the win in the game because of that.

I should mention that Nationals starting pitcher Tim Redding was rocked in his 5 2/3 innings of action.  He allowed nine hits and six runs.

Dukes led the Nationals with four rbi in the game.  Aaron Boone and Kory Casto both had two rbi while Cristian Guzman and Ryan Langerhans had one rbi.

The Nationals should be glad they were atleast able to come away with a split in the double header.  They will begin a weekend series with the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
