HF NLCS - Nats dispatch Jints in 5

GAME 1 - AT&T Park
Zimmermann vs Cain
Nats 2, Giants 1
Neither starter made it out of the 6th thanks to the cursed 100 pitch count plateau, still pitching dominance was the story today.  An unearned run caused by a throwing error by shortstop Brandon Crawford led to Washington's first run off Matt Cain.  The second run came in the 5th when Ryan Zimmerman doubled home pitcher Jordan Zimmermann.  Neither team scored the rest of the way.  Drew Storen pitched a perfect 9th for the save.
Nats lead series 1-0

GAME 2
Lannan vs Lincecum
Nats 4, Giants 3
The great Tim Lincecum was merely average, which will not cut it when your team averages just 2 runs or less a game.  Washington scored 2 big runs in the 6th and 8th to take a 4-1 lead.  The Jints rallied back for 2 in the bottom of the 8th to make it a 1 run affair, but could not get any closer.  Jason Werth's 369 foot homer off Lincecum in the 6th gave the Nats the lead.  Washington scored 4 runs on 5 hits.
Nats lead series 2-0

GAME 3 - Nationals Park
Bumgarner vs Marquis
Giants 3, Nats 2
Pablo Sandoval's 2 run homer in the top of the 5th put the Giants up by 1 run.  Madison Bumgarner gave up just 1 unearned run and the pen carried the day to get the Jints back into the series.
Nats lead series 2-1

GAME 4
Sanchez vs Gorzelanny
Nats 2, Giants 0
Tom Gorzelanny fanned 9 over 7 shutout innings before handing the ball off to Tyler Clippard (8th) and Drew Storen (9th) to close out the win.  Light hitting shortstop Danny Espinosa paced the so called offense with a 3 for 3 day as both teams each had 5 hits and once again pitching reigned supreme.
Nats lead series 3-1

GAME 5
Vogelson vs Strasburg
Nats 5, Giants 2
Phenom Stephen Strasburgh returns from injury to go 7 innings and give up ust 2 runs, while fanning 5.  Washington scored 5 thanks to two Rick Ankiel homers.  Ankiel had 3 RBI's on the day as the Nats banged out 12 hits to dispatch the punchless Jints in 5.
Nats win series 4-1
