BY SCOTT LAUBERWith a runner on second and two out in the top of the fifth, Anderson Hernandez's drive to right field hit off Jayson Werth's glove for a double, allowing Roger Bernadina to score. I covered Hernandez in the minors with the Mets, and he can play. Don't be surprised if he's the Nats' second baseman next season.
Anyway, Werth made up for his near-catch in the bottom of the fifth, belting a leadoff home run into the first row in right field to restore the two-run lead. Ryan Howard just struck out, by the way, raising his K total to 199 and matching his single-season mark from last year. Of course, Arizona's Mark Reynolds already has broken that record. He has 201 whiffs heading into the D-backs game tonight vs. Colorado.
