WASHINGTON — Wilson Ramos and his Washington teammates emerged from their offensive slumps a bit on Tuesday, and the Nationals earned a needed win.
Ramos blooped a two-run single to right with one out in the bottom of the eighth that helped Washington to a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The catcher came up in a 3-all tie with one out and runners on second and third. He sliced a hit off David Hernandez (0-2) that scored Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth and ended Washington's four-game losing streak.
"I was trying to hit the ball in the air and try to bring one of those runners, get that single," Ramos said.
