Make Walters your spot not only before and after every game at Nationals Park.

Walters also is right by Audi Field, and D.C. United, the Washington Spirit, and the D.C. defenders are all in season.

Next pitch swung on. Broken bat, looper to left. It's going to fall in front.

And Rosario, a base head.

On a single left by Fitzgerald and the Giants lead, 2 to 1.

Here's the pitch to Ahmed.

And a line drive going to be a base hit over the leaping Garcia and it dunks into right center field.

And Ahmed has spoiled Corbyn again.

Coming in to score as Chapman at 6 to 1 Giants.

pitch counts from posing starters. And that was the case with Jordan Hicks in this one. I mean,

you get Joey Gallo's Homer in the second and what else happened the rest of the day at the plate for them? Not a whole lot. If your offensive highlight of the game, besides that, was the bunt, single, and stolen base by your catcher, Drew Millis, you know it hasn't been a great day at the plate for you.
