Trailing by a run in the eighth, and facing a potential sweep on the road in Toronto’s Rogers Centre, the Washington Nationals rallied to tie it with Juan Soto singling to left field, taking second on a wild pitch, and scoring on a one-out single to make it a 6-6 game, but the Nats left the bases loaded in the top of the eighth, and the Blue Jays hit back-to-back homers off Ryan Madson in the bottom of the inning to complete the sweep with an 8-6 win.
Teoscar Hernandez and Yangervis Solarte’s homers were the first off Madson since joined the Nationals last July.
