Game 4 - Tyson Ross was demoted to the #4 starter to begin the post-season and
responded in a big way. Nats get an RBI single from Rajai Davis and an RBI double
from Desmond Jennings in the 1st. Ross settled right in and didn't give up a run
until the 8th inning. He allowed 3 hits, 1 run, 3 BB, and 9 K's over 7.1 IP.
Casilla stifles an 8th inning threat, Melancon pitches a near-perfect 9th for the
save. Nationals 4, Angels 1.
