Tuesday night was a smorgasbord of baseball. Even with three postponements, the games produced four low scoring, close games (total of three runs or less), three slugfests, five blow outs (win by five runs or more), two shutouts, and two extra inning games. There was even an unusual feat!

At Coors, the top five batters in the Washington lineup combined for 12 hits, 11 runs, 14 RBI, and six extra base hits as the Nationals beat the Rockies 15-12. That hitting included Trea Turner’s cycle, the third in Nationals history:

He drove a home run out to right field. He singled, doubled and tripled the other way. A day after the Rockies’ pitching staff stymied him with breaking balls, Turner fouled them off to get better pitches. After a single in the first, a double in the second, and a home run in the sixth, Turner had already tied his career high in RBI with four.

“When you take someone that’s immensely talented like he is, and they’re engaged on every single pitch, special things happen,” said Murphy, whose three-hit, five-RBI night was lost in Turner’s shivering shadow. “That’s what we saw tonight.”

As we know, Coors is a cycle friendly park.

Tuesday night was a great night to be a baseball fan.
