WASHINGTON—Michael Conforto’s two-run single highlighted a four-run 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 9–5 on a wet Thursday afternoon after having squandered a three-run lead in the ninth inning.

Mike Yastrzemski grounded up the middle leading off the 10th against Robert Garcia (2–4). Shortstop CJ Abrams threw wide to third base in an attempt to get automatic runner Jerar Encarnacion, and both runners were safe. Brett Wisely’s bunt single scored Encarnacion with the go-ahead run.
