4/13/2009 - The Nationals Report

The Nationals Report
By Jim Davidson

Another dismal start by the Nationals that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in their fan base. Two series against division rivals, and two series losses.

Who's Hot
SP-Scott Olsen - 1-0, 1.29 ERA, 14 IP, 17 K, 3 BB, 0.64 WHIP

C-Jesus Flores - .400 BA, 1.224 OPS, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 3 R

RF-Elijah Dukes - .391 BA, 1.213 OPS, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 10 R, 2 SB

Who's Not
SP-Josh Towers - 0-1, 7.36 ERA, 3 2/3 IP, 4 H, 2 BB

SP-Shawn Hill - 7.04 ERA, 0-2, 2.22 WHIP

RP-Aquilino Lopez - 9.00 ERA

Injury Report
SP-Matt Chico - surgery to repair a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament - out until All-Star break (60 day DL)

CF-Corey Patterson - flu, day to day

Around the League
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mark Buerhle pitched a perfect game in the Sox 6-0 triumph over the Royals.

In a high scoring series between the Phillies and Rockies, a player hit for the cycle two games in a row. Garret Atkins of the Rockies hit for the cycle against the Phillies, going 5-5 for the game, as the Rockies lost. Shane Victorino went 4-4 to get the cycle for the Phillies against the Rockies, but the Rockies won.
