Washington Nationals: Extra Innings Game Could Have Dire Effects

The Washington Nationals rumbled, bumbled, and stumbled through a 14-inning affair last night against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Eric Thames gave spectators mercy by hitting his 17th home run of the season in the top of the 14th to put the Brewers in the lead for good.

In the loss, the Nationals used every single relief pitcher in their bullpen. From Sean Doolittle to the recently DFA and recalled Javy Guerra, each guy saw action. Tanner Rainey and Guerra even batted for themselves in the extra innings because the Nats had no remaining bench players.
