The Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in their NL wild-card game Tuesday night and they did so in dramatic fashion.
The home team trailed by two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and the tension inside Nationals Park was high, as they’ve never won a postseason series and things weren’t looking good.
Then the Nationals used a questionable HBP, a bloop single on a broken bat, a walk, and a single by 20-year-old Juan Soto that plated all three runners thanks to a stunning error by right fielder by Trent Grisham.
And just like that, it was bedlam in Washington as they shut down the Brewers in the ninth to advance to face the Dodgers.
Here’s the game-winning hit:
