There was much drama this afternoon at Nationals Park, as the Washington Nationals defeated the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 3-2.
The Reds were shut down for 8 innings before Ryan Ludwick bailed the Reds out with a game-tying, 2 run single in the 9th inning. That was all for not as Alfredo Simon tossed a wild pitch, with 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th, allowing Nationals Ryan Zimmerman to score the winning run.
Nationals starter, Gio Gonzalez, who was acquired earlier from the Oakland Athletics, was dominant holding the Reds lineup to only 2 hits. Gonzalez struck out 7 in 7 innings.
Mat Latos gave up 2 runs in 5 innings for the Reds.
The Nationals (5-2) are currently in first place in the NL East.
Game Two of this series is tomorrow with Bronson Arroyo (0-0 5.68) going for the Reds against Jordan Zimmermann (0-1 1.29) of the Nats.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm.
