Matt den Dekker crushed a fastball from Pedro Baez for a two-run home run in the eighth inning, giving the Nationals a 5-3 win over the Dodgers in the resumption of Friday night's suspended game on Saturday afternoon at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.
With Tyler Moore on first base and two outs in the eighth inning, pitching coach Rick Honeycutt made a trip to the mound, presumably to give Baez info on the pinch-hitter den Dekker, with two career home runs in 263 plate appearances coming into Saturday.
Make it three in 264 PA, as den Dekker hit the first pitch into the seats in right field to break a 3-3 tie.
