2006 – Frank Robinson’s farewell was highlighted with a 20-minute pregame ceremony in his honor. As nice as the Robinson’s tribute was the game itself turned out to be a 6-2 loss by the Nationals (71-91) to the NL East champion New York Mets (96-66).
2009 – Pete Orr hit a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and the Washington Nationals (56-103) beat Atlanta (86-73) 2-1. Orr’s one-out single to left field drove in Ryan Zimmerman, who opened the ninth with a double off Rafael Soriano (1-6).
2012 – Despite being beaten 2-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies (81-79), the Nationals (96-64) became the first major league team from Washington since 1933 to clinch first place, because the second-place Atlanta Braves lost 2-1 at the Pittsburgh Pirates.
