Cheap Air Max 2018 Shoes . Harper scored the winning run on pinch-hitter Anthony Rendons single in the ninth inning as Washington edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Wednesday night. "Its absolutely epic. Thats the best word I can put out there," Harper said. Five of Washingtons last six victories have been by a single run, with four coming in its last at-bat. "Its been incredible," Harper said. "This team has a lot of fight, a lot of heart. We never die." Harper opened the ninth with a single off Evan Marshall (4-3) and went to third base on Kevin Frandsens one-out single. Out of the starting lineup for the first time in 63 games, Rendon singled past third baseman Cliff Pennington to win it. "It was different to say the least, but it was awesome," Rendon said of pinch-hit. Neither epic nor awesome describes the feeling manager Matt Williams feels watching the slew of walk-off wins. "Its gratifying for (the players), its exciting for them," Williams said. "Its not a whole of fun in the dugout for the staff, but thats OK."

"They pitched good and we didnt pitch good enough. They outfielded us. They outhit us." Two of Washingtons wins in this series have come in its last at-bat after Arizona tied the game late. "Of course its disappointing," Gibson said. "Theyve got it rolling and they overtook us again." Tanner Roark threw seven scoreless innings for the Nationals and left with a 2-0 lead. He gave up five hits. Roark is 5-1 with a 2.09 ERA over his last eight starts. The Diamondbacks tied it in the eighth on Ender Inciartes two-run homer against reliever Tyler Clippard.
