VIDEO: Michael A. Taylor Launches Solo Shot off Adam Wainwright to Give Nats Early Lead Over Cards
By Karl Rasmussen
Adam Wainwright tossed an absolute gem his last time on the mound, but things didn't get off to quite the same start in NLCS Game 2. His first pitch of the third inning was blasted over the outfield wall by center fielder Michael A. Taylor as the Nationals broke the deadlock.
Michael. A. Taylor.

Wainwright left that changeup hanging, and Taylor promptly placed it in the seats for the first run of the game.
When you're facing a guy like Max Scherzer, every run counts, and Wainwright will be wishing he could have that pitch back.
