That game was carried by the offense as was most of this four game series. We win three out of four in Washington and now head to Milwaukee to try to continue the good fortune.

Pitching Report - SP Jimmy Nelson (4.2 IP, 4H 4ER, 4BB, 3K's) walked way too many people and wasted too many pitches, he was actually ahead 7-1 when he left the game but had three baserunners due to walks that RP Edgar Garcia (1.1 IP, 1H, 1ER, 0BB, 0K, HRA) then allowed to score. We still had the lead as RP Corbin Clouse (2.2 IP, 3H 1ER, 2BB, 2K's) got to the last out of the ninth but couldn't finish, so RP Thomas Burrows (0.1 IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 0K SV) allowed a walk and then got a flyout to end the game and earn the save.

Batting Report - Eight runs on eleven hits gets the job done today. RF Hunter Renfroe (3/4, 2-2B, HR, 2R, 4RBI) was all extra base hits today with two doubles and a three run homerun. LF Andrew Toles (2/5,1R) and SS Jose Iglesias (2/4) were our other multi-hit players today. 2B Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (1/3, 2RBI) singled home two baserunners in the fourth inning to give the Pirates a 3-1 lead at the time.
