A Walk-off wonder
With a win to break the streak of five games in a row looking ever more bleak, young phenom Bryce Harper lead off the 9th inning with his second double, third almost home run, of the night. Ian Desmond stepped up to the plate and ended the game with a walk off home run into the visitor's bullpen. During the game, the Nats scored first for the first time in what feels like a week, and even after EJax blew the lead the offense finally tried to pick him up. But, the lead was lost again and in the ninth, the Nats found themselves down a run, with Diamondbacks closer JJ Putz on the mound, and well, you know the rest. All in all, the mistakes can be forgiven with a win, which it is.
