It was a wild win for the Nationals as they advance back to the NLDS. bnicholsonsmith gives his takeaways from a late Washington rally over the Brewers. Postseason

shut Stephen Strasburg down with an eye toward future seasons back in 2012? This was probably the kind of night they had in mind when they managed his workload so carefully.

Eventually, Washington will have to figure out how to arrange its pitching staff against an impressive Dodgers team that’s eyeing its third consecutive World Series appearance. But until then, it’s time for a well-deserved celebration. Those have been rare in Washington, with NLDS losses in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017.

With the bases loaded and the Nationals trailing 3-1, Soto hit a potential game-tying single to right field. That in itself is impressive considering Soto’s age and opponent . Even after adding reinforcements at the trade deadline, this isn’t exactly the kind of group you want pitching in must-win games. With that in mind, the Nationals turned to Strasburg for the first relief appearance of his big-league career. The right-hander didn’t disappoint, striking out four over three scoreless innings.
