Sweet 16th: Walk-off caps Nats' comebacks

WASHINGTON -- Nearly six hours after first pitch Sunday, Nationals outfielder Chris Heisey smashed a 1-1 pitch over the left-center field fence to send the Nationals to a 5-4 victory and series sweep over the Twins and end a game that had more twists than a season of Game of Thrones.

Heisey's home run capped one of the craziest games of the season, one that featured a Bryce Harper game-tying homer, a key bunt single by a relief pitcher and three replay reviews. Brian Dozier launched a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning, but Harper tied the game in the ninth with a pinch-hit blast to right-center.
