Extra-Inning Win by Nationals Over Astros
In a tight contest at Nationals Park, the Washington Nationals edged the Houston Astros by the score of 2-1. Washington first baseman Tyler White, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Washington reliever Miguel Romero picked up the win to move to 3-0. Tyler Duffey suffered the loss. Washington improves to 51-39 with the win. They lead their division by 2 games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Washington shortstop Chris Taylor, facing Tyler Duffey, had a run-scoring single. It gave the Nationals the 2-1 win.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said White.
