Nationals Win Nail-Biter
The Washington (Rk+) Nationals picked up a win at Swine Ballpark, dropping the Cleveland (Rk+) Guardians, 5-4, in 10 innings. Bill Van Natta, who is tied for 3rd in the PIO with a 10.2 K/9 rate, was the difference-maker. The Nationals, at 28-32, sit in second place in the West.

Washington (Rk+) got a knockout punch from Corey Massman. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Massman said.
