Ian Desmond came through big with a walk-off sac fly in the bottom of the eleventh, but there were a number of contributions that put the struggling Washington Nationals' shortstop in the position to win it for the Nats.
Ian Desmond's sac fly in the bottom of the eleventh inning won it for the Washington Nationals, but there was plenty of drama in the lead-up to his walk-off winner in the home half of the inning. Bryce Harper hit a one-out double off Atlanta Braves' lefty Dana Eveland, sending a screamer to right-center field, but he pulled up short at second, limping into the bag noticeably enough that both Nats' skipper Matt Wiliams and team trainer Lee Kuntz came out to have a talk with him.
