The two clubs went back and forth in the early innings. Josh Bell, batting cleanup for the first time in his career, launched a two-run homer to right off Roark in the first inning. Daniel Murphy homered off starter Tyler Glasnow in the second, cutting the Bucs' lead in half. Roark walked in a run and allowed another on a fielder's choice in the third, but the Nats took advantage of Glasnow's mistakes to even the score in the fourth.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Patience and power: Jaso worked a walk with the bases loaded in the third inning to bring home a run.
