the Nationals and Cubs getting ready to wrap up their three-game series it’s the rubber match jake Irvin 28 years of age Franny looking to win four straight starts for the first time in his career and let’s see what Jake Irvin can do in the first inning here i mentioned the struggles that he’s had early in ball games first inning this year a 9.75 erra irvin against H there it is 96 for Mr and punches out in half to start his night al Tucker a big left-handed batter tucker out to center hassel Jr into the gap can’t get it one hops off the wall tucker gallops to second slide in safely welcome back kyle Tucker it’s a one out double man this guy is fun to watch him fast ball running away from Sea Suzuki there couple strikeouts around the Kyle Tucker double and there’s two down there’s Pete Crow Armstrong pete out to center robert Hassel Jr back at the track at the wall it’s gone dead center it’s Pete Croll allar 16th homer two-run shot it’s two to nothing Cubs pump it up that is some power for PCA and the Cubs trying to add to their two-run lead dansby at third bush at first so here’s Nico her pitch and a ground ball to short the two hopper chopped toward the hole abrams throws to second close play there and it’s in time for the out cubs on the two-run homer from Cro Armstrong have the lead after a half inning so the Cubs using Drew Pomerance today in an opener type situation it makes sense against this Nationals lineup that’s stacked with lefties and now Drew Pomeran has also had a good season so far with the Cubs 13 and 2/3 scoreless innings he’ll face CJ Abrams that is over the head of Michael Bush and into right field abrams heading for second throw from Tucker and Abrams couldn’t hold the bag he’s called out abrams had to try to slide to the inside of the bag at second and he was off the bag when alertly Dansby Swanson tagged him out a good solid throw by Tucker from right two outs here’s a liner to right coming in tucker now goes back and makes the catch so Pomeran didn’t fool a lot of guys but the Nationals do not score garcia got a late break and couldn’t glove it so Matt Shaw board leading off the second magguire towards first low field steps on first throw to second hits off Shaw’s helmet i think it hit him right in the coconut right in the back of the helmet way a way to keep your head in the game Matty he’s all smiles daniel Low not as much so runner at second for Ian Hap app rips it to right field call races back can’t get it little hit off the wall shaw scores ian Hap to second he slide he’s safe it’s an RBI double something with a little movement in the strike zone but it’s kind of a cement mixer just hovers right there in the middle of the strike zone cubs offense returning to form here tonight a milestone RBI for Ian Hat 500th in his career congratulations Ian two on two outs now you got to face Pete Crow Armstrong just dribbled over to first handled by Nathaniel Low and Jake Irvin does indeed hold the Cubs to just one run in the second easy out on one pitch for Ray with a popup that’ll bring up Robert Hassel the third batting ninth in the order it’s down the left field line for Hassel hat fires to second the tag and he’s out wow tucker with one hat with one cubs outfield defense one of one if you’re going to make that tag dive right down in there and get right into the play Nico’s glove hits the foot of Hassel as he slides in perfect play by the Cubs defense you’re next PCA the Nationals are trying so hard to get something going they’ve run themselves out of two chances here’s CJ Abrams there’s a line drive to left and he’ll get down into the gap does CJ think about it he does he Crow Armstrong’s throw is strong but offline and finally the Nats make a turn for two and get in there safely oh you’re getting me excited wouldn’t that have been something here’s Ahmed Rosario going to hit one well to third off the glove of Shaw no play for Swanson and an infield single for Rosario extending his hit streak which is now at 10 games and putting runners at the corners for James Wood gets it out to left half in makes the catch scoreless inning for Colin Ray cubs lead three to nothing doesn’t chase draws his second walk of the game on base all three plate appearances and a two-out base runner for the Cubs seiya out to left field it’s a base hit tucker on his way to third gets there zya holds up at first and runners at the corners here for the Cubs in the fourth it’s a two-out rally so now Pete Crow Armstrong with runners on the corners two outs lined over to second luis Garcia Jr a nice play and he throws out Crow Armstrong to get Jake Irvin out of the fourth inning colin Ray has retired five in a row luis Garcia Jr at the plate pulls this one down the line hooking stays fair into the corner louie going to turn for two and a one out double and Garcia now four for six in this series swings at the first pitch and hits it over to second warner will throw him out and Garcia to third but two down in the inning so here’s CJ Abrams in the air shallow left shaw back same with Swanson hap in look out all right Dansby crisis averted so Jake Irvin done five laborious innings and now here’s Jackson Rutled for the sixth reese Maguire into right to lead off single map RBI double in the second Ian drills it to right call back way back it’s way gone oh baby third deck Ian had a buy home run number four it’s a two-run shot comes up five to nothing we talked last time Ian was up there that uh he’s showing positive signs here lately and he goes deep for just the fourth time this year it’s a little cement mixer Yep Now with three runs batted in in this game and a little more breathing room that’s batting in the seventh one out nobody on trailing five to nothing josh Bell standing in josh Bell a line drive out to deep right center this ball’s carrying towards the scoreboard and off the top of it bell going to hustle in for two throw for Petro Armstrong not in time well the big fella Bell the one of the three that was able to avoid the tag at second base tucker got one have got one and PCA almost gets Bell oh and a great slide by Josh Bell just out of the reach of Nicoer what a slide by JB here so there you go free base runner for the Nats two on now for Luis Garcia Jr not an overpowering performance by Colin he did not strike a single batter out but excellent outing for Colin Ray it’s his game to win it’s been good news when Calebar enters the game so far this year 26th appearance drive popped up foul ground maguire big second out might need another bat after that the inning falls to Robert Hassel hassel drives one through the left side for a base hit josh Bell will be held at third by Ricky Gutierrez and they’re loaded for CJ Abrams here in the seven so here’s CJ Abrams one swing in the bat gets you back in the game now you got your silent pompoms going right now if you’re calling right cheering hard your runners don’t score got him oh he locked him up uncle Charlie that was a be curveball floated right over the middle of the plate and the inning is over excellent job by Caleb Thebar again and Matt Shaw it’s a three hit night for the rookie and now men at first and third with two outs in the inning now Maguire will try to drive in an insurance run it’s already five nothing Cubs shaw off no throw to second second stole the base of the night maguire hits it off the glove and everybody’s saved head first slide by Maguire in first credit him with an RBI single it is six to nothing Cubs ian Hap hump back liner shotless center base hit shaw scores and now a three hit four RBI night for Ian Hap adds to the Cubs lead here in the ninth ian Hat might be back we got a catcher interference don Ly will reach base one more AB for Louie lyall will take off for second garcia strikes one well out to center that’ll allow Lyall to come around and score and the National the shut out fans on the first base side celebrate luis Garcia drives in his 27th run of the year and it’s seven to one rounder to second nico to first cubs win they win the game and they win their seventh consecutive
