But after getting brushed back, Kang punched back with a tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh inning -- his 20th of the season -- to give the Bucs a 7-5 lead. The lead wouldn't last long, however. Jayson Werth, who was also prominently involved in the third-inning fracas, lined a two-run homer to center off Pirates setup man Felipe Rivero, a former Nationals teammate. Chris Heisey, Harper's replacement, drove in the go-ahead run with a single to left. Clint Robinson singled in an insurance run, then Phil Coke walked Pedro Severino to bring home the Nats' 10th run of the game.
