25-4 is Scorigami! Never done since 1908.
Only the 7th time since 1908 a team has scored 25+, allowed 4 or less. Previous times include 8/22/07 G1, the infamous 30-3 Texas beatdown, Boston smashing the Browns 29-4 on 6/8/50, Cleveland smacking the Browns 8/12/48 (G2), Yankees destroying the Athletics 25-2 5/24/36, Indians putting a hole in the Red Sox 27-3 7/7/23 G1, and the Reds over the Boston Rustlers (Braves) 6/4/1911 26-3.

Well, there was Chicago, 25 or 6 to 4 (1970).
Some more fun stuff about that Nats game.
- Matz had never given up a run in DC in 20 inn. Gave up 7 in the 1st.
- Mets played infield in in the 1st.. Didn't quite work out.
- Mets 1B Flores just walked off the field in the bottom of the 1st after a Nats hit. Guess he saw it coming.
- In the 4th inning the fan question was "which position player do you want to see pitch"
- It was Jose Reyes who pitched and threw over 40 pitches in the 8th, 6 runs, 2 HRs.
- In their first 30 years the Mats never used a position player to pitch. Per Mets broadcast.

Tigers at A's is still scoreless, bottom of the 13th. Right now it's George Costanza's porn name (Buck Farmer) against an extra from Goodfellas (Nick Martini), and yet still I am irritated that MLBN hasn't switched to it, heh.
I do feel bad for Mariner fans. A lot of hope and you'd think even with their regression it would be good enough, but no the A's just have played their asses off for a 40 game stretch now.
they do have 4 head-to-head series left to change the tide... or the opposite.

I watched last night's walk-off. They're not on tv right now, are they?
Well, yes and no. If you don't have the MLB package, no. Being out of the Red Sox market, I need to get it to watch them. The secondary benefit is getting to watch random games.
Actually, I did get it for my husband at a great price for Father's Day. Wish I had thought to turn it on for the Shaw HR.
