In another seemingly must-win series for the Washington Nationals, they lost in heartbreaking fashion. The team jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, only to lose in extra innings.
Adam Eaton hit a single in the first before he gave them breathing room on his three-run homer. It was Eaton’s third long ball of the year, but then a familiar theme reared its ugly head. The Nats seemed to take their foot off the gas.
The team is 12th in the majors in runs scored during the first six innings of a game.
