Josh Harrison hit a game-tying three-run home run in the top of the fifth, tying things up at 3-3 a half-inning after a three-run blast put the Padres up 3-0, and Harrison got the key the Nationals are passing around these days when he got to the clubhouse, and when he was back in left field, he had a running, animated conversations with the fans in Petco Park, that featured the outfielder doing this:
