Mark Reynolds’ walk-off home run lifts Nationals to 3-2 win over Marlins...

Davey Martinez didn’t want to have to go to his beleaguered bullpen for right-hander Jefry Rodriguez, who was warming with the score tied at 2-2 in the ninth, so he made a decision to send pinch hitter Mark Reynolds to the plate. Marlins’ right-hander Kyle Barraclough fell behind the veteran slugger, 3-0, got a swinging strike with a fastball, 3-1, then grooved one and gave up a walk-off home run that sailed out to left as the Washington Nationals stormed the field to celebrate another emotional win a night after they rallied from a 9-0 deficit to beat Miami for the twelfth straight time.
