 PITTSBURGH (AP) - When the Washington Nationals aren't scoring much, there's not much margin for error no matter the opponent. Even if it's the Pittsburgh Pirates, who may be figuring out how to win close games.
Jose Bautista's second sacrifice fly of the game drove in the winning run in the ninth inning and the Pirates rallied from two runs down to beat the slumping Nationals 3-2 on Friday night.
The Nationals have been limited to five runs while losing four in a row. They haven't scored more than four runs while dropping seven of nine, and they've also lost 10 of 13.
