Scherzer throws strike 3 to Springer, but the ump calls in ball 4, then Altuve singles on a pitch up.

Then after a single to Altuve and a WP, Scherzer works hard to get two outs and gives up a SB, but still no runs, but then with 2 out Gurriel tags him for a 2 out double and its 2-0 Astros and Scherzer has 26 pitches.
Scherzer would’ve got out with a curve....I get the expecting a fastball but to pull a high fastball on the inside and adjust hands in during? Wow

Yes, a great job pulling those hands in. And Zimmerman takes a middle, middle FB out to center to make it 2-1.
Some great great pitching/hitting matchups
Robles panicked a bit on the early dive, but Nats get the zero.
Scherzer averaging 23 pitches per inning, won't last too many more at that rate.
Holy Shit Juan Soto....farthest oppo HR ever lol
Eaton making up for that failed bunt in the 1st!
Juan Soto is beautiful
My god this is good baseball. Carlos Correa killing the momentum with an incredible play
Asdrubal Cabrera gonna get a ring?
Soto, after getting beat on a change-up on the 3-1 count, goes oppo again, liking that short porch out there, and drives in 2, and its 5-2 Nats, scoring 5 unanswered. Hitters on both teams extremely tough, but great pitching should beat great hitting. Both pitchers going on extra rest and are not their sharpest. Looking forward to game 5 when they both are on regular rest.

I doubt it
Nats win game one, 5-4. Great game, although the 9th a bit anti-climactic.
Free taco for everyone!!
Paul lo Duca, Joe West. WTH?
Strasburg impressive but now to the iffy bullpen
Nats blew up Astros bullpen before they had to show theirs!
Loving that the Nats are inching closer to a title while Harper sits at home. Plus I hate the Astros.
