Alcides Escobar drove home Tres Barrera with a one-out single to center off Padres closer Mark Melancon with one out in the ninth Sunday afternoon to give the Washington Nationals an 8-7 win over visiting San Diego.
The Nationals salvaged a win in the finale of a three-game series marred by a Saturday night shooting incident outside Nationals Park.
Earlier Sunday, the Padres completed a 10-4 victory in the game that was suspended in the middle of the sixth in Saturday night due to the gunfire outside the ballpark.
