In a low-scoring affair between the Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs, pitcher Javier Assad was the difference between victory and defeat.

Griffin Jax got the save, his 24th in 26 chances.

The Nationals had to work out of trouble in the bottom of the ninth. The score was 2-0, Washington, with no one out. Chicago, with the bases empty, was mounting a threat. Dansby Swanson dug in at the plate, but on a 0-2 fastball, he lined out.

With this game in the books, Washington is 67-75, Chicago 85-57.
