After suffering a demoralizing sweep at the hands of the Mets over the weekend and a painful loss to the Diamondbacks last night, the Washington Nationals snapped their four-game losing streak with a dramatic, 5-4 victory over Arizona late Tuesday night.
Nationals’ catcher Wilson Ramos—in the midst of one of the worst offensive seasons of his career—came through with a clutch hit for the Nationals in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Nationals entered the inning in a 3-3 tie with the D-backs, but they mounted the late-inning rally they’d been looking for for several days to take a decisive lead.
