The San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals played the equivalent of two games Saturday night, but it only resulted in one win.
Behind a dominant performance from starter Jordan Zimmerman, the Nats took a 1-0 lead into the ninth. But after recording the first two outs, the Nats gave up a walk, a single, and a double, allowing the Giants to plate one run and tie things up.
