New Washington manager Matt Williams signed before the game:
Ian Desmond:
Dan Uggla:
Evan Gattis and Dan Uggla batting:
Bryce Harper fouled a ball off his leg in the first inning:
And then almost lost his helmet on a violent hit–a single in the first:
Nationals win!
Two for the road:
Three games in three days! It was an awesome trip. I’ll post normal game entries this week when I’m back in Virginia.
