BOTTOM OF FIFTH, NATIONALS 4, DODGERS 2Trea Turner singled on Rich Hill’s fourth pitch of the inning, stole second on his second pitch to Bryce Harper and threatened to take third thereafter. Harper tried to bunt, hit it foul and then whacked the 1-and-2 pitch into left field. Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts removed Hill for right-hander Pedro Baez, the reliever he lavished praise upon this morning. He deployed him successfully in Game 1 and again here, as Baez induced a short flyout from Anthony Rendon. Howie Kendrick caught it awkwardly in left field but fired home on target, and Yasmani Grandal tagged out Harper for the double play.
