With runners on second and third, center fielder Ben Revere made a spectacular, over-the-shoulder catch to rob Brandon Belt of extra bases.It was Roarks 105th and final pitch of the afternoon.Tanner, he pitched one heck of a game, Revere said.

That was a Willie Mays catch right there. Boy, that was big.Shawn Kelly retired the Giants in order in the eighth and Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his 31st save.

He was coming off one the worst starts of his career, allowing 10 hits and eight runs in five innings against Philadelphia.I knew hed pitch well today, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

I knew that he would bounce back and throw a beauty and he did.Bumgarner retired 11 of the first 12 batters and didnt allow a hit until Anthony Rendons two-out double in the fourth. The Giants ace is winless in five starts since the All-Star break.All I can do is come out and put us in a good spot and keep us in the game and hope that things go our way, he said. It hasnt since the break, but thats just the way it goes. I cant worry about that, or its just going to dig a deeper hole.With the win, the Nationals took the season series over the Giants four games to three, giving them the tiebreaker should the teams finish with the same record at the end of the regular season.ON-BASE STREAKINGNationals left fielder Jayson Werth extended his on-base streak to a career-best 38 straight games, drawing a four-pitch walk in the first inning.
