Washington Nationals | Washington Nationals News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, Standings, and Rumors

And now the Nats are bringing the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the 9th. The boys, as they used to say, are battling.

Nats bullpen had pitched out of jams in the 5th, 6th and 7th. Couldn't quite do it in the 8th. Beeter loaded the bases with no outs, struck out Caissie and got a nice play by Nunez on Sanoja's grounder. But gave up a 2-run single to Mack for a 3-1 deficit.

Brad Lord had to pitch his way out of jams in the 5th and 6th. Clayton Beeter had to pitch his way out of a jam in the 7th. Nats' pitching staff has kept this a 1-1 game. Can the offense reward them for it?

Nats have produced 1 run on 2 hits and 2 walks through 7 innings vs. Max Meyer, who has thrown only 80 pitches.
