Eaton Walks Off

The Washington Nationals continue their hot streak as they win game 1 of a 3 game series against rival Atlanta Braves. The stage was set for a 3-2 win on another strong start by Anibal Sanchez. Sanchez went 7 IN, giving up 1 Run on 7 Hits and 10 Strikeouts. This lead to a Save situation for Closer Sean Doolittle.

Doolittle was not able to complete the game after he blew his save in the top of the 9th. Until this point in the season, Doolittle was 4 for 4 on Save Attempts.

In the top of the 10th, Howie Kendrick lead off with a Single. Then, pitcher Enny Romero completed a sacrifice bunt to put Kendrick into scoring position. 3B - Anthony Rendon took an Intentional Walk after a Wild Pitch advanced the runners. This subsequently lead to the bases loaded. Finally, Eaton was able to finish the Walk Off with a base hit single to win the game. The Nationals will head on to game 2 against the Braves as Max Scherzer takes on Julio Teheran.
