 When the inning started, it was 8-0, and the Padres had their closer warming up, Robert Suarez, but it just took one more pitch for the Padres to end the ballgame as Nick Senzel hit a ground ball to short for a game-ending 6-4-3 double play. So the Nationals score 5 in the ninth and still fall three runs short, final score of 8-5. Nationals now 38-42, four games under .500, one game to play before the season's midpoint. The Nationals are swept in San Diego and are 2-4 on this road trip.
