WASHINGTON -- Jose Lobaton got the chance to play in the postseason because of a teammate's late-September injury and, boy, did the little-used backup catcher make the most of it.
Lobaton hit a three-run homer, Daniel Murphy provided more-expected production by driving in a pair of insurance runs, and Washington's bullpen threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings Sunday, leading the Nationals past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 in a rain-postponed Game 2 to even their NL Division Series at 1-all.
