Alex Wood was cruising along until two outs in the 5th when he gave up two runs and had to face Juan Soto with a man on. He whiffed the young star and saved his start. The Giants bullpen took over and shut down the Nationals, allowing only three hits and striking out four over the last four frames. It was another big inning--a four-run top of the 5th--that made the difference. Austin Slater had a hit, a walk, and run scored. He also made another great play in the outfield. He didn't start but came in for Mike Yastrzemski as part of a platoon matchup.
