The Nationals had a chance to tie the score in the eighth inning. With a runner on first, one out and right-hander Alex Wilson on the mound, pinch-hitter Clint Robinson -- who hit a walk-off homer Monday night -- came through with a pinch-hit double in the gap. Wilson Ramos tried to score, but he was thrown out at the plate, thanks to a relay from center fielder Gose to Romine to catcher James McCann.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Castellanos cleans up again: With no designated hitter in the lineup and Cabrera on the bench, Nick Castellanos batted cleanup for a second consecutive night and hit his second straight two-run homer to open the scoring for the Tigers, this one a no-doubt drive to left for his seventh dinger of the season.
