The really frustrating thing? The Northsiders weren’t exactly ripping into Nationals pitching. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez took one deep in the third for the visitors, but the Cubs didn’t score for the rest of the game. In fact, a starter going six innings and only allowing three runs on three hits would normally be in decent position for at least a no decision on this team — but just like Jordan Zimmermann and John Lannan in the Nats’ last two games, Washington hurler Craig Stammen (2-5) was doomed by the team’s shocking inability to hit, well, anything. Even the bullpen pulled it’s weight — Tyler Clippard, Mike MacDougal, and Joe Beimel combined for three scoreless innings. Zambrano (6-4) and four Chicago relievers were just too much, though: the five Chicago pitchers combined to allow but four baserunners after the second inning. Of Washington’s six hits, half belonged to Nyjer Morgan, one of the few players who seems to have come out of the break with a decent stroke. Chalk this one up to yet another case of the Nationals’ consistent inability to play a complete game with solid efforts in the field, on the mound, and at the plate.
