In Game 2 of the NLDS, Chicago has 3 – 1 lead heading into the bottom of the 8th, thanks to a solo homer by Willson Contreras and a two-run shot by Anthony Rizzo, both off Gio Gonzalez, but Washington explodes for 5 runs against Carl Edwards and Mike Montgomery to take a 6 – 3 win and even the series at one apiece. In the fateful inning, Bryce Harper hits a two-run shot and Ryan Zimmerman another good for 3 runs as all the scoring comes on long balls (Anthony Rendon had homered in the 1st for Washington’s other run).
