) Joey Wiemer's streak of reaching base made it to ten consecutive plate appearances. Wiemer had two hits in the victory, part of the 17 hits that the offense collected.

) The Nationals properly pulled off the steal attempt in order to bring the runner home from 3rd (!)

) Seven Washington starters had multiple hits and Luis Garcia Jr. led the way with a trio of them.

) Foster Griffin impressed in his team debut on Monday night. Griffin allowed a pair of runs in five innings of work to earn the win.  The lefty spent the past few seasons in Japan after many different MLB stops to start his career.

) Brad Lord tossed three frames in the win and is establishing himself as potential force out of the 'pen.

) Mark's prediction was correct and the Nats will utilize an "Opener" on Tuesday night. PJ Poulin will start the game and it is possible that he will hand the ball off to Zack Littell.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
