Coming into the season would you expect a May 24th game against the Nationals game to be important?? Probably not.
Narveson gave up 6 and didn't make it out of the 4th. Braun gets ejected. Down 6-2 did you really think this team would comeback from that??
Enter Mitre, McClendon, Boggs, and Lucroy. 5+ solid (9th not so much, but still) innings from the bullpen and an offense that refused to pack it in sans Braun and with Gomez instead.
Hart has 4 HR's in 2 days, Lucroy is hitting .333. Add in the big 4 (McGehee arguable at this point) and that is 6 out of 9 spots in the lineup that are putting up offense right now.
5 in a row, 13-4 in their last 17. This team has momentum and is gaining steam. Yes it was a May game against a bad team, they could have easily blown it off. Come talk to me in September when it is a 1 or 2 game division race and I'll remind you how important this game was.
