September 20
2011 – In the first game of a doubleheader Tommy Milone tossed six scoreless innings and pinch-hitter Ryan Zimmerman delivered an RBI single in the 10th to give the Washington Nationals to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Tom Gorzelanny (4-6) pitched the ninth for the victory. Drew Storen pitched the tenth for his 39th.
In the second game of a doubleheader Ross Detwiler outpitched Cliff Lee by tossing 7 1/3 innings and the Washington Nationals (74-79) beat the Philadelphia Phillies (98-56) 3-0 to complete a sweep of their day-night doubleheader.
Detwiler (3-5) allowed three hits in his longest career outing. The left-hander earned his first road win after going 0-9 in his first 12 starts away from home.
2012 – The Nationals (91-58) used Ross Detwiler’s six strong innings and Ryan Zimmerman’s RBI double to lock up a playoff spot with a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers (77-73).
Washington clinched at least an NL wild-card spot, delighting the crowd of 30,359. This will be the first time since 1933 a major league team from Washington D.C. made the post season appearance.
