Game 30 WPA: Attack of the Stat Padders! Nats win 9-2.

Gio had a good start, the bullpen was nails, and the defense recovered from some shaky plays. Also, people hit a bunch of home runs. Whatever, you have power, we get it, already. (You're not fooling me, Espinosa!)

(What do these graphs mean?)

  • Shakier than it looked: Gio Gonzalez (+12.3%) battles his own wildness and some shaky defense to turn in a strong, 7-inning, two-run performance, with 8 Ks, 1 walk, and a HBP.
  • DINGER: Bryce Harper (+33.
