Washington Nationals walk off on Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, on a Wilmer Difo bases-loaded single in the ninth...

Max Scherzer (15 Ks in 6 13) and Jake Arrieta (1 ER in 6 IP) had themselves an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel in the series finale in Washington, D.C., but this one was decided by the bullpens with the Phillies scoring three after Scherzer left the game in the seventh, and adding one in the eighth before the Nationals rallied against Philly closer Hector Neris, loading the bases with no one out and tying it on a walk by Pedro Severino before winning it on a walk-off single to center by Wilmer Difo, 5-4.
