Nationals down to last strike.
Robertson draws the walk off of Allen.
Nationals leave a runner on 1st base.
Final: Cleveland Indians 3 Washington Nationals 1
W: Bauer (8-5, 3.88) L: Scherzer (12-7, 2.80) SV: Allen (21)
Final Note: Scherzer pitched a great 6 innings, and then it fell apart for him in the Top of 7th Inning. The Indians were the better team getting runners in to score only leaving 3 men on base, while the Nationals left 16 on base. Hopefully for the Nationals they get a healthy Bryce Harper soon.
