For the record, the Washington Nationals lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 11-1. Thomas Boswell reports:

"The Nats' last best chance may have come when President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch -- high and over the left-handed batter's box. You can't hit what you can't reach. Nats pitchers didn't follow the hint, the worse for them."
