You gotta feel for John Lannan. His 3.36 ERA in 14 starts is respectable. His 4-8 win/loss record, on the other hand, belongs to his teammates. They have averaged 2.5 runs a game when John takes the mound. Last night, Lannan went 7 innings and gave up 2 runs on 5 hits. In the 6th inning, he gave up a home run to Morneau that would be a costly mistake.
The Nats managed to collect only 5 hits against former Nat Livan Hernandez. Lo Duca re-joined the team and played DH. He did hit a double and he scored the only run. Belliard, Young and Lo Duca all grounded into double plays over the course of the game. The Young vs. Young brotherhood showdown was strikingly uneventful. Both brothers went 0 for 3.
