Background
Anthony Rendon's two-out single in the third gave Washington a 1-0 lead, and Jordan Zimmermann, six days after his no-hitter, retired 20 Giants in a row before walking Joe Panik with two outs in the ninth. Drew Storen came in, Buster Posey singled and Pablo Sandoval's double tied the game, with Posey thrown out at the plate. Asdrubal Cabrera and manager Matt Williams were ejected in the tenth for arguing balls and strikes, and Yusmeiro Petit threw six scoreless innings of relief for the Giants. Brandon Belt led off the 18th with a home run into the second deck off Tanner Roark, and Hunter Strickland got the save.
