Michael A. Taylor went 1 for 4 at the plate and made a potentially game-saving catch at the wall late in Thursday night’s series opener with the Philadelphia Phillies, which led to Washington Nationals’ skipper Dusty Baker talking his outfielder up in the post game press conference following the Nats’ 4-3 win.
“Michael Taylor saved the game on that home run that he took away,” Baker said after Taylor’s catch on a long fly ball by Andres Blanco off the Nationals’ seventh inning arm, Brandon Kintzler.
