"He's unbelievable. Everybody knows he's one of the best players in the league. This is what he do."

Nationals 6, Padres 5: Like Livo said, this is what he do. Ryan Zimmerman (3-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI) does it again.
Zim bails out Riggleman for leaving Livo in too long, choosing Clipp over Storen; bails out Ian DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEsmond for that deadly 8th inning throwing error.
"I got a little overconfident there that Livan would continue getting the hitters out. It probably wasn't a great decision. That loss would have been on me, but tonight, they picked me up."

Meanwhile...
Strasburg didn't think he deserved to be an All-Star; we're glad he wasn't selected:
"I really didn’t feel like I was qualified to make the team ... based on how much experience I have. I’m sure I’ll have opportunities somewhere down the road. But right now, it was never a goal of mine."
