Washington Nationals: Jose Lobaton Saves 2016 Season

Jose Lobaton saved the Washington Nationals season.

His three-run shot to left in the fourth inning gave the Nats a lead they would never lose as they even this National League Divisional Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers at one.

The home run off Rich hill deflated him. With a curveball as sharp as a fresh razor, he struck out seven of the first 12 National batters.

When he got into trouble in the fourth, it was the unheralded catcher who did the damage. For Lobaton, this was not his first career playoff gomer.
