(AP Photo/Evan Vucci. Vegas oddsmakers would tell you Dmitri Young had a better chance of delivering a big hit for the Nats than Austin Kearns this afternoon.) "In that situation, you're just trying to get the guy in, and hopefully get a win. I was just trying to get a pitch to hit and not miss it." (Austin Kearns, via Washington Post, 7/25/2009) Worth the wait? Nats 3, Padres 2: 3+ years later, and Austin Kearns finally comes through when it counts. Lannan deserved W #8, but Mike MacDougal wanted to see Joe Beimel pick up W #1. Nats 13, Padres 1: Deluge! It's an after-hours party in NatsTown following a 3+ hour rain delay! We'll never forget J.D. Martin's walk against Luis Perdomo with 2 outs in the 2nd to get the rout rolling. Meanwhile... Farewell, Dmitri Young. Seems oddly fitting that on the same day Jim Bowden's biggest bust in D.C. finally earned a little ...

DMV: Austin Kearns Will Break Your Heart

Via Mr. Irrelevant  |  July 27, 2009
DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links. Austin Kearns gets choked up talking about his walk-off hit, as he should considering what he’s been through (.212 BA since 2007). [D.C.

Create-a-Caption: Austin Kearns is king of DC (for a day)

Via Big League Stew  |  July 27, 2009
It isn't every day that the Nationals win a series, so it was no wonder that Austin Kearns got a little emotional over his game-winning single on Sunday or that his teammates wanted to immediately mob him after beating the Padres. It was win No. 30 for Washington and, really, good for them, even if it came at the expense of San Diego. So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors...

Austin Kearns Gets Emotional

Via Washington Post  |  July 26, 2009
Whatever else you want to say about Austin Kearns, don't try to say he doesn't care. This is a pretty hard interview to turn away from. And if Debbi Taylor had closed with "How much did that game-winning hit mean to you, after what you've gone through over the last few weeks?" instead of something about Jeff Suppan, it might have gotten a little damp down at...

Nats beat Padres in 10th inning, 3-2

Via Washington Times  |  July 27, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Austin Kearns' role has changed, from power-hitting regular to bench player. What's remained constant is his veteran approach to difficult circumstances. Kearns, inserted into the game as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning, drove in the winning run with a two-out, 10th-inning single, and the Washington Nationals beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on...

Austin Kearns Comes Through in 10th for Nats Victory

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 27, 2009
Austin Kearns has endured a miserable season this year. The Lexington, Kentucky native is hitting just above the Mendoza Line at .201, with only three home runs and 17 RBI, with only one since May 7th. However, Kearns came through Sunday with a game-winning base hit, in a roller coaster ride of a game. The pitching match-up didn't look like much of one before Sunday...

Quad tear ends Young's year

Via Washington Times  |  July 27, 2009
Dmitri Young won't play in the big leagues this season. The question now is whether the veteran first baseman will ever make it back to the majors. While on rehab assignment with Class AA Harrisburg last week, Young tore his left quadriceps muscle, an injury that will prevent him from playing again this year. Given his struggles to stay healthy the past two seasons, it's...
