Nats stick with Roark in suspended game

"We sent Tanner back out there. He gave up the homer [to Adrian Gonzalez], but we followed that with [Aaron] Barrett, who threw a nice inning. We are tied in that situation. We are going to our eighth-inning and ninth-inning guys [in Casey Janssen and Drew Storen]."

The Nationals ended up using five pitchers in the game, with Janssen picking up the victory by pitching one shutout inning and striking out two batters.

The game was suspended Friday night before the top of the sixth inning with the Nats leading, 3-2, when some of the stadium lights near the third-base line shut off for the third time.
