Lefty Patrick Corbin took the mound for the Nats. Tommy Edman flied an inside 1-1 slider to the track in left to start the game. Paul Goldschmidt lined a first-pitch low-and-away sinker to left, where Kyle Schwarber made a sliding catch forward.
Nolan Arenado golfed a 2-0 low-and-in slider to left. Schwarber was playing deep, and this time, when he tried to dive forward for the ball, he came up just short and Arenado had a 2-out single. Yadier Molina hit high-and-inside 1-1 fastball for a looper to left again. Schwarber was playing deep again, and this time didn’t have a chance to dive, and the ball dropped for a base hit.
