Adam Dunn connects for a grand slam off reliever Jamie Walker. (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
Adam Dunn simply would not let the Nationals lose the finale of the Battle of the Beltways. After the Orioles took an early lead, Dunn hit a two-run, go-ahead homer. Baltimore rallied, but the slugger put Washington on top for good with a grand slam in the seventh.
