Red Sox 11, Nationals 3: This one had all the ingredients of a textbook 2009 Nats Loss in front of a record crowd at Nationals Park (41,000 Sox fans, 517 Nats fans); solid starting pitching, crappy defense, a lack of timely hitting, and an 8th inning meltdown by the bullpen.

John Lannan, solid again.
Jobs on the line: Hanrahan, Wells, Colome.
