The Nationals and Dodgers ended up using a combined 10 pitchers. The ninth pitcher used in the game, right-hander Pedro Baez, allowed the game-winning hit in the bottom of the eighth inning, when pinch-hitter Matt den Dekker hit a two-run homer. It was the first pinch-hit homer of his career.
Drew Storen escaped a jam to pick up his 28th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
