For example, in the fifth inning, the Nationals had runners on first and second with no outs against reliever Carlos Torres, but they couldn't score. After Jayson Werth's RBI double in the fourth, the Nats went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position the rest of the game.
"It's a tie game after six innings. We had a chance -- four cracks at them. We didn't quite get it done," Nationals manager Matt Williams said.
