Tonight, the Washington Nationals (69-65) were one out away from suffering a tough loss to the Atlanta Braves (54-81). Then, Matt den Dekker delivered a two-out pinch-hit single to tie the game. In the following inning, Michael Taylor continued his clutch hitting that he’s done all season as he walked it off with a pinch-hit three run home run to win it for the Nats, 5-2, over the Braves. It is the Nats’ third straight win and the Braves’ tenth straight loss.
The Nationals got on the board first in the first inning.
