ALL GAMES ON WWWT (107.7 FM, 1500 AM)

PERSONNEL DEPT.

In a tight spot last night, LHP Mike Hinckley made his major league debut. Hinckley entered the game with Washington trailing 4-0, runners on first and third, and Chase Utley up. But Hinckley got Utley to ground into a double play -- one that started with a putout of Utley at first and ended with Jimmy Rollins caught in a rundown between first and second. Hinckley stayed on for a scoreless eighth, and finished the night with 1 2/3 innings pitched and no hits.

BY THE NUMBERS

1969

The last time a Washington player had seven straight multi-hit games, a feat Cristian Guzmán accomplished this week. Hank Allen pulled it off 39 years ago.

QUOTABLE

"I'm very optimistic that this probably will go away in 10 to 12 days, but I'm not a doctor, and I didn't stay at that hotel last night either, so don't take my answer for it."
