Here are 23 Walk-Off Thoughts after the Indians defeated the Nationals 7-6 Tuesday night in walk-off fashion.
1. The Indians notched their fifth walk-off win of the season. This one snapped a three-game losing streak, came against a first-place Nationals team and erased three two-run deficits. In a long season, there probably isn’t such a thing as a “biggest win,” but this was certainly one of the more impressive for the 58-42 Indians.
2. Breaking down the final rally, the Indians entered the ninth trailing 6-4 and facing Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon.
3. It began with Jose Ramirez drawing a walk to bring the tying run to the plate.
