NATIONALS HISTORY
June 10 (8-5) @masnKolko - MASN (June 9)
2015 – The Nationals overcame a 4-2 deficit and eventually topped the New York Yankees, 5-4, in 11 innings Huuuuuge fan of the new dance party celebration at
at Yankee Stadium. Michael A. Taylor’s two-run homer in the eighth inning tied the game at 4-4 and the the end of the dugout after Nats homers, by the way.
Nationals eventually took the lead on Denard Span’s infield single, plating Tyler Moore. Need more of that.
