No not really but he did bat clean-up tonight, and hit a homerun and a double with an RBI and a run scored. I guess the shake-up worked as the Nats pounded Phillly 10-3. The big hero for the 2nd game in a row was the Church of latter day Ryans as Church hit a grand slam and Zimmerman had three Rbi’s. Vidro also chipped in with 3 hits 2 of which were hard line drives over 3rd (while hitting left-handed against Cory Lidle) they were textbook. It sure would be nice to see him back to his all-star form.
As far as the pitching goes Armas was not spectacular as his control was a little off, but his ball lively, he pitched 6 quality innings and was aided by 3 double-plays. The bullpen then took over and shut them down. Rodriguez, Stanton & Majewski combined to pitch 3 shutout innings. Rodriguez and Majewski looked particularly good.
Also with regards to Ward, it seems that Guillen it still feeling sore after taking batting practice tonight so that will be something to keep an eye on.
