WASHINGTON -- Kyle Gibson was one out away from escaping the first inning without conceding a run. After striking out Michael Taylor and allowing a hit to Anthony Rendon, Gibson had induced Bryce Harper to hit a dribbler back to the pitcher for a fielder's choice.
Then everything went south.
Ryan Zimmerman walked, Daniel Murphy singled in a run and Jayson Werth walked. Then Gibson drilled Danny Espinosa with a pitch in his right elbow to let in another run, before Jose Lobaton capped the rally with a two-run single.
