The Cubs fall into an 8 – 0 hole against the Nationals before rallying for a 10 – 9 win. Darwin Barney drives in Tony Campana with a 9th-inning double off Henry Rodriguez, his third hit and RBI of the day, to seal the win. The comeback starts when manager Davey Johnson leaves a tiring Livan Hernandez on the mound in the 6th inning, trying to save his bullpen; by the time he removes his ace from the game, the Cubs have scored 6 runs off the Cuban hurler. It is the largest blown lead in Nats franchise history, including its years in Montreal before moving to the nation’s capital.
