Meneses' homer leads Nationals to victory over Diamondbacks.
Joey Meneses hits a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning to help the Washington Nationals avoid a three-game sweep by the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 9-8 victory. The Nationals had blown a golden opportunity to win the previous night, but this time they closed the deal with Hunter Harvey getting the save. The Nationals had mental mistakes and walked 11 batters, but they battled back and showed an ability to win. Center fielder Victor Robles will go on the injured list due to back spasms, and third baseman Carter Kieboom has been sent to Rochester after being reinstated from the injured list.
