"It was a good team effort. It got a little hairy there at the end, but we'll take that."

Hammer, Clipp, & Pray.
Nationals 4, Royals 3: That's more like it, Luis Atilano. And life is so much better when Zim, Dunn, and Hammer are hitting.
Atilano was solid, even with a ~45 minute rain delay thrown in the middle: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K. 84 pitches, 58 strikes.
Josh Willingham hits HR #100 of his career. Naturally, a solo shot.
Adam Dunn goes deep again. Just don't talk to him about being traded, okay?
Another heart attack save by Matt Capps in the 9th, but like Riggleman said, we'll take it.
Everything's lined up nicely for a Strasmas sweep today.
