OPPONENT

AUTOMATIC DOUBLE SNARES NATIONALS UNLIKELY VICTORY AND SERIES WIN

Down 3-0 after 7 innings on Sat. night, the Nationals tied the score with a 3-run
8th inning and downed the Pirates, 4-3, on Wilson Ramos game-ending automatic
double in bottom of the 9thAdam LaRoches 2-run shot with 2 outs in the 8th inning was the 3rd of his 18 home runs on the season that taxed a lefthander, and it
evened the score...Craig Stammen and Matt Thornton combined on 4.0 scoreless
innings of relief to keep the game close and set the stage for Washingtons 5th
straight victory...the series-clinching win rendered the Nationals 5th walk-off win,
their 14th last at-bat victory and 24th come-from-behind win of the 2014 season.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES
The Nationals and Pirates match up 7 times this year...the Nationals/
Expos franchise has faced the Pirates more often (9 times, but none
since 1999) on Opening Day than any other team...Nationals Assistant
GM Bryan Minniti spent 9 seasons with PIT before joining the Nationals in Nov. 2009...Minniti began his tenure with PIT as a Baseball Ops
intern in 01 and eventually worked his way up to Director of Baseball Operations (08-09)...in the late 1930s and early 40s, the Negro
Leagues Homestead Grays played their home games at Forbes Field
in Pittsburgh, but at the same time, scheduled games in DC at their alternate home, Griffith Stadium...Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle graduated
from Merritt Island High School, which is located just 10 miles from the
Nationals Spring Training Complex in Viera, FL.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
The Nationals enter tonights finale with a chance to do something theyve never
done...with a Sun. night victory, Washington would claim the season series from
the Pirates despite losing the first 3 matchups...in 10 seasons in DC, the Nationals
have never won a 7-game season series after losing the 3 initial contests.
TOP HEAVY
The Nationals (68-53, .562) own the best winning percentage in the National League
and pace the NL East by 6.0 games over the 2nd-place Braves...in the race for the
NLs top record, 6 clubs are within 6.0 games of the front-running Nationals: LAD
(tied, 70-55, .560): MIL (-0.5), STL (-3.5), SFG (-5.5), PIT (-5.0), ATL (-6.0).
DAYS OF RESIDENCY
Utilizing win percentage, the Nationals have spent 67 days in first place, including
56 days with sole possession of the NL Easts top spot, this year (per Elias Sports).
PATENT THAT LEATHER
Matt Williams Nationals have played errorless baseball in 47 of 62 games (76%) dating to June 7...in that 10-plus week span, the Nationals pace MLB with a .991 fielding
percentage...SEA (.990) and BAL (.989) rank 2nd and 3rd, respectively...the Nationals monthly error totals: Mar./Apr. (26), May (20), June (8), July (10), Aug. (6).
LOOK MOM, NO DEFENSE
Steve McCattys pitching staff has fared quite well in regards to baseballs 3 true
outcomes (walks, home runs, strikeouts), none of which are affected by defense:

KEEPING SCORE ON THE SEASON

The Nationals lead the NL (3rd in MLB) in run differential at +91 (508 for, 417
against)...MLBs top 4: OAK (+162), SEA (+92), Washington (+91), LAA (+88).
SCORE 4 = WIN MORE
Washington is 58-7 when scoring 4 or more runs and, conversely, just 10-46 when
limited to 3 or less runs by opposing pitchers.
BALANCE OF POWERFUL PITCHING
Washington (starters: 3rd at 3.23, bullpen: 4th at 2.78) joins SEA (starters: 2nd at
3.23, bullpen: 2nd at 2.38) and OAK (starters: 5th at 3.41, bullpen: 5th at 2.85) as
the only 3 clubs to rank among MLBs top 5 in both starters ERA and bullpen ERA.
ABSOLUTE ZERO
The Nationals 13th shutouts this season have matched their single-season team
mark (2005 - present) set initially during the 12 NL East Championship campaign.
STOP THIEF!
Nationals catchers are tied for the MLB lead having gunned down 23 of 69 (33.3%)
would-be basestealers this year (pitcher caught stealings excluded)...only the Cardinals (20 of 60, 33.3%) have been as successful as Washington...in 13, the Nationals
ranked 29th throwing out 14 percent (15 of 110) of would-be basestealers.

THE SERIES
The Nationals last won a season series from the Pirates by going 5-1 in
2010...since 2005, Washington is 15-11 in one-run games against PIT...19
of the last 24 games in the Nationals-Pirates series have been decided
by 2 runs or less (Washington is 8-11 in those tight contests)...the Nationals are 16-for-93 (.172) with RISP their last 13 games at PNC Park.
