Nationals' Michael Taylor hits walk-off, three-run home run to beat Braves, 5-2

Washington Nationals' outfielder Michael Taylor hit a pinch hit, three-run, walk-off home run off Braves' right-hander Brandon Cunniff to give the Nats a 5-2 win over their NL East rivals from Atlanta.

After Michael Taylor hit a game-tying, two-run single in a July 22nd game against the New York Mets in the nation's capital, Washington Nationals' manager Matt Williams talked to reporters about the 24-year-old outfielder's ability to stay calm in big at bats and come up with "clutch" hits.

"When he gets in those situations, he doesn't try to do too much," Williams said.
