GB&U: Doumit Does It Again

RESULT: Nats lose to Pirates 7-5, Ryan Doumit homers four times for the Bucs in three games against the Nats.

GOOD: Cristian Guzman. 3-for-5, 3 RBIs, one run scored. It's a shame he'll be passed over for the all-star game, because he's clearly been the best player for the Nationals so far this season.

BAD: Jason Bergmann. Another rough outing. 4.2 IP. Six runs, four earned. Eight hits and a walk. He gave up two in the first and two in the second. The Nationals are now 1-7 when he starts.

UGLY: Odalis Perez will miss another start with is shoulder tendinitis. There's a good chance he'll go on the DL, but at the very least, the Nats will have to call someone up to take the start. Clippard? Mock? Someone else? Spin the wheel, see where it lands!

NEXT GAME: Friday in Seattle at Safeco Park. Shawn Hill (0-3, 4.35) versus Miguel Batista (3-7, 6.00)
