Enhanced Box Score: Nationals 2, Cubs 4 – August 10, 2011
Rodrigo Lopez had a fine outing, and the bullpen was nails. Carlos Marmol, who’s been on fire since his July meltdowns, struck out the side in the 9th to save another one. It was a good game on Ron Santo statue dedication night.
Alfonso Soriano became just the third player in baseball with an active streak of 10 consecutive 20-homer seasons. More surprising? He took a walk!
