If you were mercifully spared from watching this game, count your blessings. If you couldn’t watch because you had to work, be thankful for those work responsibilities. If you couldn’t watch because you needed to mind your small children, kiss those children and thank them.
Skip this recap. Forget this game. Pretend it was rained out and will need to be made up....some day.
But if you watched it, or saw the score and want to understand what happened, keep reading.
In short, the Rays pitching was terrible. Yes, the Nats got lucky - lots of balls dropped in that could have been outs.
