The Nationals couldn’t seem to get on third base during the early innings of Sunday’s ballgame. It was 1-0 Dodgers in the sixth inning when the Nationals put two runners on base. Jayson Werth stepped up to the plate and laced an 0-2 pitch down the line into left field. It was close and called foul by the third base umpire, Gary Cederstrom.
If that ball is fair, and it was fair, Trea Turner is the tail runner and scores a step-and-a-half after lead runner Stephen Strasburg crosses the plate. The Nationals would have taken the lead 2-1, but the ball was (wrongly) ruled foul after a Nationals challenge sent the call to New York.
