"GET AWAY" Day...NATS come on late to beat ROCKS...REDBIRDS get Rubber Match vs AMAZINS' as WAINRIGHT beats HARVEY #NATitude #CARDSbiz

The Nats get a 4 for 4 from SS Ian Desmond and a 2-run Big Fly in the 3rd from "Zim" to get past the Colorado Rockies 5-4. Nats LHP Ross Detwiler goes five innings allowing three runs on six hits as he was out dueled by Rocks LHP Pitcher Jeff Francis. Francis went six strong allowing  two runs on five hits while striking out eight. The Rocks crooked 2 they put up in the eighth was the difference in the game as they got to Rockies Middle Relief Pitching. Rocks Stars "Tulo" and Car-Go were not a factor as "Tulo" goes 1 for 3 and Car-Go was a late scratch.

They went at it on the Bump Redbirds Ace Adam Wainright and Amazins' up an coming Star RHP Matt Harvey. Wainright allowed just four hits and no ducks to cross the dish while striking out six. Harvey was equally up to the task going seven striking out seven while yielding five hits and one Redbirds to cross the dish. Harvey left down 1-0 as the Cards tacked on one more in the top half of the eighth as Mets OF Marlon Byrd takes Redbirds Closer Edward Mujica who still gets his 19th closed shop of the year. The Redbirds are still rolling having taken two out of three and moving to a Show leading 43-23.
