On the way to a second straight win for the San Diego Padres over the Washington Nationals, a funny thing happened last night.
After being held scoreless for the first five innings, the Nationals scored three runs in the sixth to tie the game and a single run in the seventh to take the lead. From there, they held on to close out just their second win in their last ten games.
Series wins have been hard to come by for Washington, but here they are with a chance to pick up just their second series win since the start of July.
But San Diego is heavily favored in today's midday matchup, and anyth ing less than a win and a series win for the Padres will be a real surprise.
