Washington Nationals bench coach Randy Knorr (53) confers with catcher Jesus Flores (26) and shortstop Ian Desmond (20) as starting pitcher Edwin Jackson (33) leaves to be relieved during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012. The Nationals won 5-1. Knorr took over for manager Davey Johnson after Johnson left the game in the seventh inning because of a loss of feeling in his leg caused by bulging discs pressing against nerves.
