Monkeyman576 loses second game 7-3

As thrilling as the opening day win was for Monkeyman576, the second game was just as much of a dissapointment.

The Dodgers scored 3 runs in the first two innings, breaking out to an early lead. The Nationals bullpen could not keep it close, as the Dodgers scored twice in the 4th and twice in the sixth.

There were some bright spots for the Nationals offence though, Jennings, the right fielder, was 4 for 5 on the day, raising his average to .400. Padgett, Mason, and Logan each had RBI's. Tavarez, the Nationals starter, pitched 5.1 innings and gave up 4 earned runs in the loss.

Next, the Nationals play the Mets, whose rookie team is also 1-1 on the season. The Nationals sit a half game back in the standings as this was the Dodgers first game of the season and they sit now at 1-0.
