Game 111 WPA: Shoulda stayed up. Nats win 8-3
I know the still frames make you look goofy, but come on, dude. - Richard Mackson-USA TODAY SportsSource: FanGraphs
Dealing: Gio Gonzalez (+27.5%) puts together 8 innings of shutout ball, fanning 6 and walking one. More like this, please.
I really want to believe: Ian Desmond (+18.5%) follows the Z-man's lead with a two-run shot in the second for the early lead (+18.1%) and a junk-time solo bomb in the ayeth (+0.2%). He also has a SB.
Speaking of the Z-man: Ryan Zimmerman (+13.1%) is 2-4 with a pair of doubles.
WPA doesn't care one way or the other: Doug Fister (+0.0%) strikes out the side in the 9th, although he lets in three unearned runs on a walk, an ROE and a two-out HR.
