Owner Information:
MLB sent letters to the 9 bidders setting a May 31st deadline for bids. The Nationals president believes that it is likely that the team will not be sold before September or October.
Tuesday Night Game: Nationals Lose 8-2:
Late 2-run homerun by Johnson in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs keeps the Nationals from being shutout. Vargas is now 0-1 and went from a 0.00 ERA to a 7.36 ERA. Three starters pitched for the Nationals in last nights game, besides Vargas, Ohka and Day also saw action. Vargas faced 13 batters in 1.1 innings, giving up 7 hits, 6 runs, 2 walks and 2 home-runs (46 pitches). Ohka relieved Vargas and shut-down the Brewers for 5.2 innings, giving up just 2 hits and 1 walk in those innings, and striking out 4 batters (70 pitches). Day pitched the last two innings and gave up an extra two runs in the top of the ninth (38 pitches). As the Nationals only managed 3 hits, 2 by Johnson, there isn't much to say about the batters.
