| Jesus Flores didn't get into this one until the 12th, but he made sure to be noticed with a 3-run pinch hit blast that gives the Nats the win. All 3 runs are unearned because there were 2 on and 2 out, and the first runner of the inning reached base on an error. If not for the error, there would have been 3 outs before Flores had a chance to pinch hit for pitcher Henry Rodriguez. Tom Gorzelanny pitches the bottom of the 12th with the 3-run lead, and earns the save. |

The Washington Nationals bested the Pittsburgh Pirates in 12 innings by a 8 to
5 score at PNC Park.
Both teams had scored 5 runs after nine full innings. Finally, Washington
prevailed in the 12th inning. Ian Desmond got things going when he reached
on an error. Bryce Harper was the next batter, but he struck out. Ryan
Zimmerman then smacked a single. One out later, Jesus Flores stepped up to
the plate and he lost the ball over the fence for three runs. Danny Espinosa
came to the plate and banged out a single. Washington banged out 13 hits on
the night.
The winning pitcher was Henry Rodriguez(2-1) who allowed no runs in 2 innings.
Tom Gorzelanny got the save, his 1st. The losing pitcher was Tony
Watson(0-2) in relief. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an
earned run in his 1 inning of work.
