Nats Blank Menasha in Opener
Here's Johnny.
The newest National made an immediate impact in his team debut. Displaying a presence and command not seen Kuhnke toed the rubber, Johnny Arnold overwhelmed the Menasha Macs on Friday night in Menasha. In a briskly played came, the Nats prevailed 4-0.
Arnold dominated the game from the hill in a 9 inning shutout. He struck out 14, while walking only two and never allowed the Macs to put together a serious threat.
It was just the type of performance the Nationals needed and expected on night when the offense struggled to get going. An RBI double by Jared Stengal and two run double by newly acquired first baseman, Adam Kaufman, were nearly all of the offense that the team could muster.
