In a game that started as the Max Scherzer and Aaron Nola show, it ended in bizarre fashion. But the Washington Nationals ground it out thanks to a huge home run from Anthony Rendon.
Trailing 3-0 in the seventh inning, it was actually Rendon who got the rally started with a leadoff single. He would later come around to score on an RBI groundout from Matt Wieters that Carlos Santana threw away, gifting the Nats another run.
Then with a runner on, the third baseman launched a two-run home run off Pat Neshek to put the Nationals 4-3 up in the 9th.
