Game 138 WPA: Closer than it looked. Nats win 9-7

Gio can't get past the 4th, but the Nats keep hitting.
  • A perfectly serviceable number 4 pitcher: Gio Gonzalez (-44.3%) lets in 4 runs in 3+ innings pitched, exiting in the 4th with 2 RISP and no outs, with both inherited runners scoring. He does manage a two-out, RBI single in the second to get the Nats on the board (+8.4%).
  • Back in the game quickly: Anthony Rendon (+20.9%) hits his first career grand slam, a no-doubter to left, to put the Nats ahead with no outs in the 3rd (+25.
