Adams' RBI single in 11th gives Nationals 2-1 win at Arizona

PHOENIX -- Matt Adams singled in a run in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals opened a four-game series in Arizona with a 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday night.

Trea Turner opened the 11th with a single off Fernando Salas (3-4) and Anthony Rendon walked. Left-hander Andrew Chafin relieved Salas and, with the shift on, Adams singled through the shortstop's normal position to give Washington its first lead of the night.

Brandon Kintzler (1-2) pitched a scoreless 10th to get the win.
