Yesterday, the Washington Nationals got a timely hit from an unlikely hero. Trailing 2-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the bottom of the fourth, Jose Lobaton hit a three-run home run to left, which shifted the entire momentum of the series.
Despite Tanner Roark only going 4+ innings yesterday, the bullpen did an excellent job as they shut out the Dodgers offense for the remainder of the game. They combined to strike out five Dodgers over the final 4.2 innings.
Now, the series shifts to Los Angeles this afternoon for Game 3.
