ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Dusty Baker went into the shower Monday afternoon following the Nationals’ 4-2 Opening Day win over the Miami Marlins at Nationals Park dry.
He came out the same way.
“No hot water,” he said.
It may have been the only thing that went wrong for the hometown team Monday afternoon.
This was one of those “I-love-it-when-a-plan-comes-together” wins that often pleased the A-Team’s Hannibal Smith. The superstar player, trying to return to MVP form after a disappointing 2016 season, homered in the sixth inning to get Washington on the scoreboard, the fifth time Bryce Harper has homered on Opening Day.
