Today at 5:30 p.m. ET, the San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals continue off their best-of-five National League Division series with Game 2 action live from Nationals Park in Washington. The game can be live streamed for free here. San Francisco fans can hear all of the action on KNBR 1050 while Washington fans can do the same on WFED 1100.
San Francisco looks to take a 2-0 series lead after picking up a 3-2 road victory Friday afternoon while Washington looks to make this a 1-1 series before it swings to California.
Tim Hudson (9-13, 3.57 ERA regular season) takes the ball for the Giants while the Nationals counter with Jordan Zimmerman, who finished with a 14-5 record and 2.66 ERA this season and is fresh off of throwing a no-hitter on the final day of the campaign his last time out.
Giants rookie infielder Joe Panik had a big day in Game 1, getting San Francisco on the board with an RBI-single in the third and scoring what proved to be the game-winning run on a seventh inning single by catcher Buster Posey that staked the team to a 3-0 lead.
The Nationals tried their best to forge a comeback in the bottom of the seventh when shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and outfielder Bryce Harper each hit solo shots to cut the deficit to 3-2. Washington failed to complete the rally and will now look to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole.
"We have to win that game tomorrow," Harper said after Friday's loss, according to MLB.com. "If we go down 0-2, I don't even want to think about it."
The Nationals will look to get back into the series against Hudson, who has plenty of experience facing them.
"For me, it is no secret what they are about," Hudson told MLB.com. "It is no secret to them what I am about. It is going out there and coming up with a good game plan, trying to watch a lot of videos, seeing what their strengths and weaknesses are at this point in the year and coming up with a good game plan."
The Giants look to take a 2-0 series lead back to San Francisco while Washington will look to even up the series at home when these teams clash in NLDS Game 2 live from Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
