Both Nationals named to the roster appeared in the game.
● Drew Millas (who else?) was the N.L. starting catcher. He singled with two outs in the 2nd in his first at-bat, then beat out a would-be 4-6-3 DP in the 5th. He scored on a double by Pittsburgh’s Nick Gonzalez. Millas was lifted from the game in the top of the 6th.
● Orlanda Ribalta was the seventh N.L. pitcher, pitching in the… wait for it… the 7th. He gave up a two-out double but put the fire out with a grounder to third to end the inning. The 24-y.o. Cuban-American threw 12 pitches, eight for strikes.
The Peoria Javelinas return to action tomorrow as they host the Glendale Desert Dogs.
