[Jik]

Markakis gets the count to 3-0

Annnnnd he walks with Millar coming up

[Jik]

Mora almost got picked off at second as he was dancing around.

"dancing back there as if he was brian roberts"

Mora is rubbing his hamstring (medical expert Joe Angel is guessing) But he's walking slowly back to second after a hit and run attempt.

Millar works a great count and fills the bases with a walk.

Luke Scott is coming up.

[Jik]

Scott hits a grounder to second base and forces Millar out. Markakis advances to third and Mora scores.

R. Hernandez flies out to center

2-1 Nats.

[Jik]

L. Hernandez just did his best Tejada impersonation and dropped the ball on a routine grounder to short.

Impossible he has the best glove in the game!

[Jik]

Guthrie is throwing strikes and is getting good pitch counts but instead of putting them away he gives up a hit.

George Sherrill is warming up

Another 1-2 pitch hit into Center.

Diaz got greedy and was put into a run down, two outs but it's now 3-1

[Jik]

Dukes strikes out again. O's coming up.

Gibbons is swinging and being impatient. Hes at 0-2.

[Fairfax Bird]

Gibbons is swinging and being impatient. Hes at 0-2.

Then flies out to RF. He's now 0-7 this spring. Payton coming up

If Gibbons continues to be terrible, will they cut him? I hope so.

[Jik]

Payton gets on by a Guzman error.

Adam Jones was putting on a show during batting practice. "One of the few guys who make hitting look easy" - Terry Crowley (Joe Angel says that he was hitting a bunch of line drive homers)

L. Hernandez grounds out to first, but payton advances to second. Roberts is coming up.

[Jik]

Dukes lost the ball in the air and payton comes in to score as Roberts is standing at second.

The crowd cheered and started laughing.

Rob Bell is coming in to pitch for the Nats

[Jik]

Mora with a basehit, Roberts scores.

Markakis is gone on one pitch. It's tied 3-3.

[Tank]

I hope Mora starts the season on fire so we can trade him.
