    Trailing by two runs with two men on in the bottom of the ninth inning, Washington's Jayson Werth worked a 3-0 count against Angels closer Ernesto Frieri.

    Time to take a pitch, right?

    "I can't imagine anybody thinking that J-Dub's going to swing," Werth's teammate Adam LaRoche said. "Surprised all of us."

    Werth did indeed go after the next pitch, hitting it down the third-base line for a game-tying, two-run double that ended Frieri's rough outing.

    LaRoche then produced an RBI single off the first pitch from Fernando Salas to cap a four-run rally in the ninth, and the Nationals beat the Angels 5-4 Wednesday night to avoid a sweep.
