"We had chance to win the game offensively. That's where we didn't win the game. We didn't lose that game defensively. We just didn't score enough runs." (Jim Riggleman, via Nationals.com, 8/8/2010)
Okay, they may not have lost it defensively, but what happened in the fourth inning immediately after Michael Morse robbed Matt Kemp of a grand slam sure didn't help.
Dodgers 3, Nationals 2: Livo good, Kuroda better. And the Nats fall to 1-8 in extra innings in 2010.
Welcome back to the bigs, Kevin Mench.
Meanwhile...Jason Marquis and his 0-3 record and 20.52 ERA returns to the mound today. Here's hoping for a better showing than the last time he started a game for the Nationals. God help us.
