Overview

• Washington flipped the game with a four-run seventh inning, highlighted by Dylan Crews’ two-run homer and a two-run double from Josh Bell.
• James Wood cut down the potential tying run at the plate in the ninth, and closer Jose A. Ferrer notched his ninth save despite allowing his first runs in 15 appearances.
• Brady House homered, Brad Lord gave up three runs over six innings, and Mitch Keller was charged with two runs in 5 1/3 for Pittsburgh.
• The loss extended Pittsburgh’s skid to seven games as Washington took a 1-0 lead in the late-September series in D.C.
• Game 2 features rookies Bubba Chandler, making his second MLB start after a nine-run debut yet still viewed as a starter by manager Don Kelly, and Andrew Alvarez, who has a 1.86 ERA through 9 2/3 innings.
