8-zip. what went wrong. >> watching your team not score, not one run. in the postseason. >> reporter: what went wrong? >> everything. >> reporter: what happened? >> we got our behinds handed to us one more time. but tomorrow's another day. >> i think they're going to feel the effects of not having strasburg. >> there's always tomorrow. we'll be back. >> reporter: this is what play-off baseball looks like. the big flag. the big balloons. and the big crowd. and the drum line. it's been, oh, so long since washington had any baseball play-off action. and to have something like this, well, washington, today your wait's over. how long you been waiting for

this? >> about 46 years. >> 1972. >> all my life! >> reporter: some took extraordinary measures to be here today. >> i'm really hot. and i've got a temperature. i'm sweating. >> i threw up all morning. >> reporter: i shouldn't stand too close. this is what play-off baseball looks like. a sea of red. red, red, red. the right shade of red. washington red. feeling sort of out of place? >> i've seen a few other around here. >> reporter: now, there were some odd colors in thecrowd. worn by what appeared to be lonesome people. but for the most part, it was all washington red. fans towelled up. pumped up. waving, cheering, hoping for the good, even when things went bad. hoping, hoping, hoping.

because we've waited so long for this. the hope continues on tomorrow. tomorrow a chance to stay alive in the play-offs. i'll see you tomorrow. live from nats park, i'm pat collins, news4. >> just a little red face now, but that will fire us up tomorrow. pat, thanks. you think that game was painful, wait until you look at the traffic heading out of nats stadium right now. it's rush hour, and we have all those people heading back to the four corners of our area. traffic congestion could be trying. news4's jackie bensen is in southeast with some of the things that you commuters can do to avoid all those crowds. >> reporter: we are actually behind me is main avenue in southwest washington. this area turns int a big bottleneck after games. because people are using it to get to the 14th street bridge, to get to virginia, and to get to maryland via the southeast/southwest free way. what we can tell you is we've

seen a steady stream of people coming out of there. and we can tell who they are, thanks to an epidemic of red shirts and hats. we can tell a lot of these drivers were at the game. they're starting to mix with regular rush hour drivers. d.c. transportation officials have placed vehicles in this area, just in case there needed -- if there's some type of major traffic incident. so far, it's very hard for me to tell from where i am, but traffic is moving. at this point it's hard to tell because of the time of day, whether this is just sort of the more heavy than normal rush hour, or it could get worse, because so many people stayed in the stadium until the end of that game. reporting live in southwest washington, jackie bensen, news4. >> thank you, jackie. up in new york, the orioles play their game three against the yankees tonight. tonight's game, 7:30. that series is tied up at one game apiece. we have breaking news in northeast d.c. right now, police are on the scene of a shooting, and so is
