Know Your Foe #5: Nationals host Rockies inside the beltway

By Russ Oates Updated

WASHINGTON NATIONALS (6-6, 4th NL East, 2 GB)

Monday-Thursday: 4-game series @ Nationals Park

Rockies' 2009 Record against Nationals: 6-0

It was a clean sweep for the Rockies last year against the Nationals. New Nationals pitcher Jason Marquis picked up two of the wins, while Jorge De La Rosa, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Jason Hammel also picked up wins. That luminary of our bullpen in 2009, Alan Embree, had the other win in relief of Jason Hammel in his first start against the Nats.

Nationals' Recent Results: 1-2 series loss to Philadelphia Phillies; 2-1 series victory over Milwaukee Brewers.

Marquis magic couldn't help the Nationals in yesterday's afternoon game. Have you checked out Marquis' line from the first inning? He left the game without ever recording an out. The Brewers hit three singles to start the contest, the third single pushing the first run across the plate. This was followed by an HBP, a run-scoring walk, and a run-scoring HBP. Gregg Zaun hit an RBI single to remove Marquis from the game. Miguel Batists entered the game, allowed his three inherited runners to score, and surrendered a grand slam before recording the lat two outs of the inning.
