Game 39 WPA: The return of Espinosa. Nats 10, Pads 5

Stras struggled, but hung on to hand off to Roark and Solis, and the Nats exploded for a ton of runs after a bit of a pause.

  • Labored: Steven Strasburg (-11.9%) gives up 3 runs in 5+ IP with 7 Ks and a walk, but he keeps the Nats close enough.
  • I still say it's a trick: Danny Espinosa (+43.3%) is the real hero today, going 1-3 with a walk and a dramatic, two-out, three-run bomb to RF to put the Nats ahead by one in the 5th (+44.
