Overview
- James Wood delivered a two-out RBI single in the 10th as Washington won 8-7 Thursday at PNC Park.
- Konnor Griffin’s fifth-inning throwing error on a potential double play allowed three runs to score.
- The rookie later tied the game with a drive off the center-field fence for an RBI triple and added an infield hit in the 10th.
- Pittsburgh’s four errors, a hit batter, and a wild pitch led to six Nationals runs.
- After the game, Griffin took the blame as manager Don Kelly framed it as a young shortstop’s growing pains, and the 19-year-old is hitting .214 through 13 games after an early April call-up.
