Nationals Need Extras to Top Diamondbacks
The Washington Nationals topped the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 8-6, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Yulieski Gurriel. Gurriel went 4 for 6 with 2 home runs, a triple, and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5 for the Nationals. Washington reliever Joakim Soria was credited with the win, to go to 1-1. Zack Wheeler took the loss for Arizona. Washington's record now stands at 23-16, placing them second in the National League East Division.

Washington used the timely hitting of Steve Pearce to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Nationals on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Pearce said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
