Commanders Win 4-3 Walk-Off
The Washington Commanders besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Chicago third baseman Andy Miller by beating the Bears, 4-3, at Commanders Field. Miller was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. Washington goes to 19-11 with the win.

Jason Earls was the walk-off hero for Washington. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Commanders shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This stadium was a-rockin'," said Earls.
