Washington Nationals' skipper Dusty Baker celebrated his 67th birthday in style, with a walk-off win over the Chicago Cubs that gave the Nats two games out of three from MLB's best team. Jayson Werth's twelfth inning single sent everyone home happy... except the Cubs.
It was all tied up at 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth on Sunday afternoon before Stephen Drew sent a pinch hit home run to right field in Nationals Park to put the Nats ahead. Washington's lead didn't last long.
With closer Jonathan Papelbon on the DL, Dusty Baker turned to right-hander Matt Belisle in the top of the ninth with Kris Bryant due up for the Cubs.
