Nats respond in 7th with homer by Heisey

WASHINGTON -- With the Nationals down three runs to the Dodgers in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Thursday (watch on FS1), Chris Heisey launched a two-run home run to left field to get Washington back into the game.

Heisey's blast, off an 0-2 fastball from Dodgers pitcher Grant Dayton, left his bat at 106 miles per hour and traveled a projected 386 feet, per Statcast™. Heisey pinch-hit for Jose Lobaton after Danny Espinosa led off the seventh with a walk.
