It was Conforto’s first career pinch-hit homer and gave New York its first home win since sweeping a doubleheader from Washington on Aug. 12. It also gave New York a win on the night they retired the number of Jerry Koosman, the No. Riley Adams gave Washington a 3-2 lead by scoring on a wild pitch by May (6-2) during an at-bat to Juan Soto with two outs in the seventh. Alcides Escobar had three hits for the Nationals, including an RBI single in a two-run second off Marcus Stroman. Stroman allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings, marking the 20th time he allowed two earned runs or fewer this season.
