Michael Taylor comes up for Washington in the top of the ninth with the bases loaded and one out, the Nationals trailing the Diamondbacks 6-5. He was batting in Bryce Harper‘s slot because Harper was ejected for arguing on a check swing. Taylor gets ahead in the count and delivers a grand slam to straight away center. It was Taylor’s first time up in the majors with the bases loaded.
The Nationals will defend the 9-6 lead in the bottom of the ninth.
Update: Washington wins 9-6.
