Giants Jolt Nationals, 6-1, with Late Rally
The San Francisco Giants used the hitting of catcher Yasmani Grandal to subdue the Washington Nationals, 6-1. For the game, Grandal was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The win gives San Francisco a season record of 64-53.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Cedric Mullins came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Washington pitcher Michael Lorenzen, he hit a first pitch curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting San Francisco on top, 2-1.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Grandal said.
