Washington split four games at Pittsburgh after sweeping three from Milwaukee and sits one game under .500.</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>“Couldn’t be happier, couldn’t be more proud of our guys,” Nationals manager Blake Butera said. “I think our first 19 games have been against really good teams. It’s a good challenge early on to face these clubs and test where we’re at. When you go on the road like this and come out of it 5-2, it’s huge.”</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>Giants veteran Logan Webb (1-2, 5.25 ERA) will oppose fellow right-hander Zack Littell (0-1, 4.20) in the opener.</p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>Last time out, Webb gave up four runs on five hits over six innings in a loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

Landen Roupp tossed six innings of one-hit ball to help the Giants avert a sweep.</p> </section><section id="section-12"> <p>“I think I just wanted to go out there and stop the bleeding and get us back on the right track,” Roupp said. “I just wanted to go out there today, throw strikes and just give the team the best chance to win.”</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>Jung Hoo Lee went 3-for-4 in his fourth multi-hit game of the road trip. He has raised his average from .143 to .246 over his past six contests.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>Tempers flared in the eighth inning when the Giants’ Willy Adames was hit by a pitch, and then the benches emptied after the Reds’ Sal Stewart struck out to end the game.</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>“I do think it is a team that’s already got strong camaraderie,” manager Tony Vitello said of his Giants. “I do think there does need to be a little bit more battle to them. It doesn’t mean breaking a bat or starting a fight or anything like that.”</p> </section><section id="section-16"> <p>In Pittsburgh, Washington’s James Wood singled home the automatic runner with two outs in the top of the 10th and Orlando Ribalta pitched the bottom half to secure an 8-7 Nationals win.</p> </section><section id="section-17"> <p>Wood, Daylin Lile and Drew Millas had two hits each for the Nationals, who scored eight runs despite going 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position.</p> </section><section id="section-18"> <p>Ribalta, 28, gave up a hit but earned his first major league save in his 28th big-league appearance.</p> </section><section id="section-19"> <p>“He seems to have a slow heartbeat at all times,” Butera said. “And it’s nice to have a guy like that on the mound in that situation.”</p> </section><br/><section id="section-20"> <p>–Field Level Media</p> </section> </div> #Deadspin #Giants #turn #ace #Logan #Webb #tame #improving #Nats
