Two Fridays ago, the Nationals sported their blue jerseys and faced their National League East rivals, the Braves, in front of the hometown crowd at Nats Park. With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 10th, Michael A. Taylor came on to pinch-hit and sent a walk-off three-run home run into the stands.
Fast forward to last night's scene in D.C. The boys dawned their patriotic get-up as they hosted another division foe, the Marlins. The ballgame was knotted at 4-4 after nine innings. To the 10th we go!

After a scoreless top of the frame, Jayson Werth led off the bottom of the 10th by smacking a double to right center. An intentional walk followed by a passed ball put runners on first and third.
Werth is at third with no outs in the 10th. Now would be a great time to tune to MASN ... #FishFry

After an Ian Desmond groundout and another intentional walk, Jose Lobaton stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. Although he didn't send the ball into the stands like Taylor did two weeks ago, Lobaton got enough behind a fly ball to allow Werth to score from third. Ballgame.
Cue the celebrations.
