Nationals 2, Padres 0
SAN DIEGO — Danny Espinosa hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth for the Nationals, who won their third straight to take the four-game series after consecutive 2-1 victories. "It felt good to finally get one in," Espinosa said. "It feels even better to win the road trip." Espinosa was robbed of an extra-base hit when rightfielder Chris Denorfia made a leaping catch against the short porch. But pinch-runner Brian Bixler scored anyway.
