Game notes – Rendon broke the Nats’ scoring drought with a first-inning
homer, but Willson Contreras answered for Chicago in the top of the second …
visitors took the lead in the fourth on a Bryant double and Rizzo HR off Gio,
who wound up with a kept-them-in-the-game 5-inning outing, giving up only those
3 hits and runs … Nats didn’t get another baserunner off Jon Lester until the 5th,
when they loaded the bases on a leadoff single by Zim and 2-out walks to Taylor
and pinch-hitter Howie Kendrick, before Turner fanned to end the frame …
Washington finally broke out in the bottom of the 8th, when
pinch-hitter Adam Lind singled, Harper hit a 2-run HR to tie things up, and Zim
hit a 3-run shot after a walk to Rendon and a Murphy single … Doolittle got the
save, finishing up 4 innings of scoreless ball by the Nats’ bullpen
