Nationals Suffer 8-7 Road Loss The Washington Nationals could not turn a fine performance from left fielder CJ Abrams into a win. Instead, the Arizona Diamondbacks prevailed, 8-7. Abrams was 3-4 with a home run and a triple, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Zach Eflin. He's now 9-9. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits for the Diamondbacks. Juan Morillo finished the game for Arizona and earned his 31st save. The Nationals had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Diamondbacks going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 33-year old left fielder Taylor Ward came to the plate. Ward hit a 2-run double on a full count slider from Washington hurler Jarlin Susana. It was Ward's 26th double of the year. Ward told a Arizona Gazette reporter that he was "delighted" with the win. The Diamondbacks, at 79-63, sit in second place in the National League West Division.
