Will Nievas grounds to Ramirez. 5-3 on the putout.
After 3 and a half. Cubs 3 Nats 2.
Silva had a bad luck inning. He gave up a cheap bunt single, and a couple soft liners, before walking in a runner and the other scoring on a short lineout to center.
Cubs bats better get going again. Lannan's pitch count is high; expect him to be out in the 5th and the Cubs can start attacking that lowly National 'pen.
