A night after they rallied for five runs in the top of the ninth, taking a 7-6 lead on the Arizona D-backs, only to have closer Kyle Finnegan implode and give up two runs in the bottom of the inning as the home team walked off on a bases-loaded walk, the Washington Nationals scored three in the ninth on Sunday to take the lead, but this time held on for a comeback win, with Hunter Harvey locking it down and earning his first career save in the process.
The comeback started in the seventh, with the Nats scoring two to pull within two runs, 7-5, but the D-backs’ answered back with a run in the bottom of the inning, 8-5.
