Lobaton's three-run homer leads Nationals to tie up NLDS

BOX SCORE

WASHINGTON -- Little-used Jose Lobaton hit a three-run homer, Daniel Murphy drove in two runs, and Washington's bullpen threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings, leading the Nationals past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 Sunday in a rain-postponed Game 2 to even their NL Division Series at 1-all.

Lobaton - a backup catcher playing because Wilson Ramos tore a knee ligament in September - connected with a curveball from Rich Hill in the fourth inning. Murphy went 3 for 3, with RBI singles in the fifth and seventh.
