(3-5, 2.82) BOSTON RED SOX - Washington Nationals

GIO & THE NATIONALS ROLL DICE-K IN BOSTON
The Nationals earned their 13th series win (7-3-0 in road series) with a 4-2 win on Saturday at
Boston...Gio Gonzalez (8-2) earned the victory, holding the Red Sox to just 2 runs in 6.1
innings...Tyler Clippard pocketed his 7th save with a perfect 9th frame...Adam LaRoche got
the Nationals on the board with a solo homer in the 2nd, and Ian Desmond added insurance via
a 2-run single in the 4th.
* Gio Gonzalez held BOS to just 3 hits, improving his batting average against to an
MLB-best .168...accroding to Elias, that is the lowest opponent batting average thru 12
starts since MIN’s Francisco Liriano posted a .163 BAA thru 12 outings in ‘06.
SWEEP STAKES
The Nationals need a win today to secure a weekend sweep of BOS...Washington has 2
series sweeps this season, April 20-21 vs. MIA (3rd game of series was PPD due to rain)
and May 25-27 at ATL...the Nationals are 1-11 this season when playing the final game of
a series with a sweep on the line.
* While the Nationals have never swept the Red Sox, the Expos did it twice (both times
at Olympic Stadium in Montreal: Sept. 1-3, 1997 & June 7-9, 1999).
STATE OF THE NATIONALS
With a series-ending win today, Washington would improve to 12 games over .500 for the
first time this season...the last time the Nationals reached 12-over was in July 2005 (55-43
after 98 games).
‘CATT’S MEOW
Steve McCatty’s staff leads MLB in ERA (2.97), starters’ ERA (2.93), batting average
against (.221), opponent OBP (.288), opponent SLG (.346), strikeouts per 9.0 IP (8.51), hits/
9.0 innings (7.31), WHIP (1.14), baserunners allowed/9.0 innings (10.49), OPS against
(.634) and fielding-independent pitching (3.26).
K STREET
Nationals pitchers have averaged 8.51 strikeouts per 9.0 innings this season...note that
Washington’s strikeout-rate has only been produced through 57 contests, but it is currently
the 2nd-highest recorded by any club in modern baseball history.
* The ‘03 Cubs (8.68 K/9.0) own the highest full-season strikeout-rate in MLB annals.
FLASHING THE LEATHER
Washington has committed just 34 errors (6 of 34 errors charged to pitchers) this season, 4th
fewest in the NL...the Nationals have played errorless ball in 12 of their last 16 contests.
* Ryan Zimmerman, who has just 2 errors in 104 total chances this season, ranks 3rd
among NL third basemen with a .981 fielding percentage.
INTERLEAGUE STRETCH
The Nationals are 2-0 on a stretch of 15 straight contests against the American League...during
this stretch, they’ll faceoff against the following AL East opponents: at Red Sox (2-0), at Blue Jays
(June 11-13), vs. Yankees (June 15-17), vs. Rays (June 19-21) and at Orioles (June 22-24).
* Washington is 3-2 this season in Interleague Play...the Nationals (‘05-present) are 59-69
all-time against the AL, including 24-41 on the road and 35-28 at home.
BIG EAST
The Nationals (11-8) are 19 games into a stretch in which they will play 32 consecutive
contests against clubs from either the NL East (14) or AL East (18).
OUCH, THAT HURTS
The Nationals (34-23) have missed significant time from their best player (Ryan Zimmerman,
right shoulder, endured 17-day DL stint), cleanup hitter (Michael Morse, right lat strain,
missed 50 games), team leader (Jayson Werth, left wrist, out until Aug.), starting catcher
(Wilson Ramos, right knee, will miss remainder of ‘12), most experienced bench bat (Mark
DeRosa, oblique strain, out indefinitely), their most productive bench bat (Chad Tracy, right
adductor strain, will miss 6-8 weeks), most experienced starting pitcher (Chien-Ming Wang,
left hamstring, missed first 42 games), most experienced reliever (Brad Lidge, abdominal,
missed 38 games) and closer (Drew Storen, bone chips right elbow, has yet to pitch).

SERIES NOTES
JUNE 10
NATIONALS & RED SOX
* The Nationals franchise, which began in Montreal in 1969, earned its first
victory at Fenway Park on Friday...the Nationals or Expos have been swept
here thrice and been outscored, 75-31...Washington returns to Fenway Park
for just the 2nd time...nearly 6 years later, the only National that remains in
place from Washington’s 3-game visit, June 19-21, 2006, is Ryan
Zimmerman...note that Marlon Byrd was with the Nationals during that series in
2006...the Washington Senators’ last wins at Fenway came via an 11-inning
6-5 victory on May 25, 1971...in American League play, Washington went 716-
774 against the Red Sox (Original Senators, 629-664 against BOS; Expansion
Senators 87-110 against BOS)...Hall-of-Famer Ted Williams, the Senators’
last manager, went 24-30 against his Red Sox (10-17 at Fenway) in 3
seasons (1969-71) as Washington manager...Davey Johnson earned his 3rd
World Series ring—first as a manager—as his ‘86 Mets famously edged BOS
in a 7-game World Series...in the summer of ‘07, Stephen Strasburg pitched for
the Torrington Twisters in the New England Collegiate Baseball League
(NECBL)...only 3 current Nationals pitchers have ever posted a win at Fenway
Park: Chien-Ming Wang (3), Gio Gonzalez (2) & Stephen Strasburg (1).
