It took until the seventh inning of Game 3, but the Washington Nationals offense finally got a break. With two on and none out, Wilson Ramos laid down a sac bunt. Madison Bumgarner fielded it, and tried to get lead runner Ian Desmond at third base. It didn’t go well.
Desmond and Bryce Harper scored on Bumgarner’s throwing error, while Ramos advanced to second. Asdrubal Cabrera then singled Ramos in to give the Nationals a 3-0 lead. Harper would then launch his second homer of the series in the ninth to increase the lead to 4-0 in favor of Washington.
