Andrew Alvarez set the tone for Washington with a sharp scoreless start, keeping the Angels quiet before the game turned into a late back-and-forth affair.
The Nationals built their early advantage through C. J. Abrams' double, Jacob Young's single and Abimelec Ortiz's two-run single. Los Angeles answered in the eighth on Wade Meckler's double and Vaughn Grissom's homer. Denzer Guzman's double tied the game in the ninth, and Moises Ballesteros' sacrifice fly put the Angels in front. Andres Chaparro's single brought José Tena home to tie it again before the extra-inning finish: Harry Ford reached on a fielder's choice, C. J. Abrams scored, and Zach Neto was charged with a fielding error.
Walbert Urena kept the Angels within reach early, but the offense could not hold the late lead. Ben Joyce's appearance ended with the game tied, while Jose Fermin took the loss after Washington's final push.
