Rendon's 1st big league homer - bobreinhold1 - 06-15-2013 09:25 PM
Anthony hit his first dinger tonight, an opposite field shot in the top of the 9th to give Washington a 7-6 lead. He's now hitting .333 with a 3-5 night tonight.

Looks like on PBP, he could have been out on first pitch, which he fouled off, but if I'm reading correctly, it was dropped and charged as error. Pestano didn't get an earned run there, so that appears to be the case.
Dropped foul pop error by first baseman Nick Swisher.

I forget -- is that an earned run?

Maybe trying to fit in on the east coast?

The haircut was a gift from one of his teammates, according to local sports reporting. He keeps his cap on a lot lately.
Way to go, Anthony!

Per a Nats fan friend, it was Adam LaRoche.

I still maintain that if Adam's brother Andy had come to Rice in 2004, we would have been unstoppable
RE: Rendon's 1st big league homer - KevinMac - 06-16-2013 01:48 PM
He has another 3 hits already today, and it's only the 6th inning. As a Nats fan, I absolutely love watching him hit. We have had zero production from 2B for a while, so I'm hoping Rendon is here to stay. Unfortunately there is an irrational love for Danny Espinosa within the organization.

Right. He would have given an extra boost to the offense, which we could have used..
RE: Rendon's 1st big league homer - gsloth - 06-17-2013 08:59 AM
Interesting to note that in yesterday's game, Rendon was moved to third base in the seventh inning. Probably was easier to do, with the game involving an DH and Zimmerman could be moved there, but interesting that they chose to do that at all.

Nice little piece in the Post on Rendon, his 1st homer, and his sweet new 'do. Check out the article here (link):

RE: Rendon's 1st big league homer - Fort Bend Owl - 06-18-2013 05:56 AM
His 11 game hitting streak ended last night. Even with an 0-3 night, he's still hitting .344. They've also moved up to #2 in the lineup.
RE: Rendon's 1st big league homer - wheredidmypantsgo - 06-18-2013 07:58 AM
great to see him playing so well at the highest level. When playing for Rice, he was one of those guys (even as a freshman) you just watched play and knew he was MLB caliber.
