Nationals Stun Brewers With Eighth-Inning Rally to Advance to NLDS

The Washington Nationals are headed to the 2019 National League Division Series after a dramatic eigth-inning comeback earned them a 4–3 win over the Brewers in the wild card on Tuesday.

The Nationals were facing a 3–1 deficit after the Brewers got off to a hot start, knocking Max Scherzer for two home runs to take an early lead.

Desperate to make something happen, Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman hit a single off Josh Hader to put runners on the corners and two outs for Anthony Rendon at the top of the eighth. Michael A. Taylor had previously been awarded first base on a hit by pitch.
