Nats score in the first inning for the first time this year
2007-04-27 21:06
The Washington Nationals scored in the first inning for the first time this year, ending a stretch of 22 games to start the season without doing so. The Nationals also failed to score in the first inning in the last five games of the 2006 season and had not scored a first inning run since September 26, 2006 in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia. Austin Kearns hit a 3-run homer off of Oliver Perez of the Mets tonight in a 4-3 win for the Nats at RFK. The 1948 Chicago White Sox went 28 games into the season before scoring a first inning run, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Note: The 1948 White Sox were 51-101 overall. That team's best player was 41-year old Luke Appling, a Hall of Famer, who moved from shortstop to third base to make way for youngster Cass Michaels. The next year, the 42-year old old Appling moved back to short and Michaels went to second. Chad Cordero picked up his third save for Washington tonight, putting him three ahead of Mariano Rivera on the season.
