Nationals Rally in Eighth to Complete Sweep of Angels

Overview

• The Nationals completed a three-game sweep with a 6-5 comeback win Sunday after Daylen Lile’s triple keyed a four-run eighth inning that turned a 4-2 deficit into a 6-4 lead.
• Pinch-hitter Jorbit Vivas delivered the RBI single that tied the game, Jacob Young hit the go-ahead double and Dylan Crews added a two-out RBI to extend the rally.
• Angels relievers Luke Murphy and Sammy Peralta surrendered the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth, and Washington closer Jack Sinclair recorded his first professional save to seal the victory.
• Grayson Rodriguez produced a quality start (5.1 innings, two earned runs) and Zach Neto hit a solo homer to match his career high with 26, but those performances were undone by late bullpen lapses.
• Los Angeles fell to 56-93 and now must win at least seven of its final 13 games to avoid its first 100-loss season while Washington improved to 3-61 when trailing after seven innings with this rare late comeback.
