KLMNO WNBA


S


D5 Mystics’ improving Langhorne rewarded with an all-star nod by Katie Carrera Washington Mystics forward


Crystal Langhorne was named to the WNBA all-star team on Tues- day after emerging as one of the league’s most consistent post players through the first half of the season. In 17 games, Lang- horne has averaged a team-high 17 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. “I’m really honored,” said


Langhorne, who is ranked fifth in scoring among forwards in the league. “This is a great achieve- ment for the organization and myself. I’m really excited to take


in the opportunity.” The nod to participate in Sat-


urday’s matchup between WNBA all-stars and the U.S. national team at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., caps Lang- horne’s transformation from struggling rookie to team leader in just three seasons. After winning the WNBA’s most improved player award in 2009, Langhorne continued to up the ante in 2010, becoming a more efficient shooter (59.2 per- cent) from a plethora of ranges and a more aggressive rebounder. Her reliable nature remains one of the biggest reasons why the Mystics enter the all-star break at


12-5 and in second place in the Eastern Conference. “I’m just going out there to en-


joy myself and enjoy the experi- ence,” Langhorne said. “I know it’s going to be the best players in the entire WNBA. Considering the way I started out in the league and the changes that have hap- pened, to a point I guess it is a lit- tle surreal to be going.” Joining Langhorne on the


WNBA all-star squad are: Sancho Lyttle, Iziane Castro Marques (both of Atlanta), Penny Taylor (Phoenix), Katie Douglas (Indi- ana), Rebekkah Brunson (Minne- sota), Lauren Jackson (Seattle), Becky Hammon, Jayne Appel, Mi-

JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST Ryan Zimmerman passes the Padres’ Adrian Gonzalez on his way to bringing home the winning run. Zimmerman lifts Nationals nationals from D1


be voted on by fans to be the fi- nal member of each league’s all- star team, Zimmerman is 6 for 9 with three home runs, a double and a walk.


Zimmerman had a chance to win it thanks to Desmond. And Desmond had a chance to save it thanks to himself. In the eighth, Desmond’s 21st error this season, a bad throw following a lousy feed on a would-be 4-6-3 double play by Cristian Guzmán, allowed the tying run to score. In the ninth, Desmond would not allow the Padres to take the lead. With two outs, Josh Wil- lingham tracked down Scott Hairston’s double off Matt Capps at the left field wall. Third base coach Glenn Hoffman wind- milled Jerry Hairston, Scott’s brother, home as Willingham fired to Desmond. He caught the ball about 150 feet from home and skipped a perfect one-hop throw to Iván Rodríguez. He cor- ralled the throw and lunged at Jerry Hairston, applying the tag in ample time.


Capps pumped his fist behind


the plate, his first inning as an all-star a clean one. Zimmerman jogged into the dugout and


grabbed a helmet. Once at the plate, he fell behind Gregerson 0-1. The next, a fastball down the pipe, Zimmerman smoked to straightaway center.


Desmond had also given the


Nationals a cushion with a fifth- inning solo home run against Clayton Richard, his fifth home run and first since May 28 — also off Richard. With his recent spasm of production, Desmond has pulled himself out of a dis- mal slump. From June 15 to June 25, went 2 for 31. On June 30, Manager Jim Riggleman left him out of the starting lineup for consecutive games for the first time all season, and Desmond knew why. “I haven’t really been getting it done,” he said then. Following his two-game hia- tus on the bench, Desmond has gone 7 for 17 with two doubles and a home run. Desmond felt opposing pitchers had adjusted to him and found his weakness- es. He needed to make his own adjustment, he said. It seems that he has. Hernández came out for the eighth inning having thrown 104 pitches in hazy heat, the kind of air that makes you think you have to chew it before you can breathe it. He lasted two bat- ters, and both Adrian Gonzalez


merit all-star pick It seems everyone in the baseball world had offered their opinion on whether Stephen Strasburg belongs in the All-Star Game except for Strasburg himself. Tuesday afternoon, Strasburg shared his view and sided with those who believe he has not


accomplished enough to play in the showcase. “Obviously, only having six


starts over here, it didn’t really matter what I was going to do,” Strasburg said. “I really didn’t feel like I was qualified to make the team, number one, based on how much experience I have. I’m sure I’ll have some opportunities somewhere down the road. Right now, it was never a goal of mine. “You look at the guys that are going to the All-Star Game and

the years that they’ve had, they did that from opening day. I haven’t been here since opening day. They deserve it. Hopefully someday I’ll deserve it, too.” Strasburg felt so strongly about how undeserved he was that if Manager Charlie Manuel and the National League did try to put Strasburg on the team, he may have not played in the game or accepted the invitation. “It would have been a real tough decision,” Strasburg said. “I never really felt like it was going to happen. I didn’t really put much thought into it. Right now, I’d much rather pitch this team to the World Series before Imake the all-star team, to be quite honest.” His decision whether to go would have had nothing to do with his physical fatigue. Asked if he felt like he needed the all-star break to refresh, he replied: “Not really. I’ve been


and Scott Hairston poked sin- gles. After 111 pitches, Hernán- dez was finished. Riggleman had declared the eighth inning would be split in some fashion between Tyler Clippard, once the full-time eighth-inning reliever, and Drew Storen. On Tuesday, he chose Clippard. Clippard believed he had shed his recent funk, when he al- lowed seven earned runs in four appearances, by throwing 11


⁄3


flawless innings Sunday. He had not. Clippard yielded two more singles and a sacrifice fly, and when he left the game the Pa- dres had slashed their deficit to 5-4. Clippard did not allow any of his own earned runs, but he con- tinued a season-long trend of yielding others. As dominant as Clippard has been for most of the year, he has allowed 14 of 31 inherited runners to score, 45 percent. (The National League average is 32 percent.) For com- parison’s sake, Storen has al- lowed 3 of 20 inherited runners to score. In the end, Desmond and Zim- merman, a rookie and a star, saved Clippard and the rest of the Nationals. kilgorea@washpost.com

Reds’ Votto leads voting Reds first baseman Joey


Votto still leads the National League “final vote” ahead of Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and the other three candidates after two days of voting. Tuesday night, Zimmerman “narrowly” trailed Votto and stood in second place. In the latest update, it’s not clear where Zimmerman stands, aside from behind Votto. In trying to win the final vote for Zimmerman, the Nationals have teamed up with the Texas Rangers to encourage fans who vote for Michael Young in the American League to vote for Zimmerman in the National League, and vice-versa. They’re calling it “Third Base Ticket.” They could also call it the “Bob Short Moved the Senators to a
