Jesus Flores hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the seventh Wednesday off Aaron Heilman, who was booed on and off the mound by the Shea Stadium crowd. Flores fought back from an 0-2 count against Heilman. "The key at-bat of the game," manager Manny Acta said. "What an at-bat for the kid that was just playing A-ball a couple of years ago. I can't say enough about that kid." Felipe Lopez added an RBI single, and Cristian Guzman's two-run single off Heilman made it 5-1. "It's frustrating when you can't hold the game where it is," Heilman said. "Not exactly smooth sailing this year." (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Lopez has Rotisserie value as the Nats starting second baseman and leadoff hitter. He is a streaky player and much better than he has shown the past two years. At 27, he can find himself and be a sleeper in deeper Fantasy leagues -- but we have been saying that for years now. Guzman is a very underrated shortstop since having laser-eye surgery. His contact bat makes him a candidate to hit .300 -- albeit with little power or true steals potential. Consider Guzman in NL-only leagues at this point. (Updated 05/15/2008).
