WASHINGTON - Bryce Harper has a suggestion for those looking for the perfect word to describe the Washington Nationals recent run of walk-off victories and nine straight wins overall. Harper scored the winning run on pinch-hitter Anthony Rendons single in the ninth inning as Washington edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Wednesday night. "Its absolutely epic. Thats the best word I can put out there," Harper said. Five of Washingtons last six victories have been by a single run, with four coming in its last at-bat. "Its been incredible," Harper said. "This team has a lot of fight, a lot of heart. We never die." Harper opened the ninth with a single off Evan Marshall (4-3) and went to third base on Kevin Frandsens one-out single. Out of the starting lineup for the first time in 63 games, Rendon singled past third baseman Cliff Pennington to win it. "It was different to say the least, but it was awesome," Rendon said of pinch-hit. Neither epic nor awesome describes the feeling manager Matt Williams feels watching the slew of walk-off wins. "Its gratifying for (the players), its exciting for them," Williams said. "Its not a whole of fun in the dugout for the staff, but thats OK." The Nationals had last won nine in a row when they matched a franchise record by winning 10 straight in June 2005. The NL East leaders also extended their home winning streak to eight and opened up a seven-game lead over Atlanta. Rafael Soriano (3-1) pitched the ninth for the win. Arizona has lost five straight and is 5-13 in August. "In the end, they out-executed us in every phase of the game," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "They pitched good and we didnt pitch good enough. They outfielded us. They outhit us." Two of Washingtons wins in this series have come in its last at-bat after Arizona tied the game late. "Of course its disappointing," Gibson said. "Theyve got it rolling and they overtook us again." Tanner Roark threw seven scoreless innings for the Nationals and left with a 2-0 lead. He gave up five hits. Roark is 5-1 with a 2.09 ERA over his last eight starts. The Diamondbacks tied it in the eighth on Ender Inciartes two-run homer against reliever Tyler Clippard. Drew Storen replaced Clippard with one on in the eighth, eventually stranding the runner at third base. Arizona starter Trevor Cahill allowed two runs and six hits over 6 1-3 innings. Wilson Ramos RBI groundout in the second inning gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead. Asdrubal Cabrera and Jayson Werth hit consecutive doubles to put Washington up 2-0 in the sixth. Harper had three of Washingtons nine hits. The game started 12 minutes late due to rain. TRAINERS ROOM Nationals: Williams sounded hopeful that 3B/OF Ryan Zimmerman could return "sometime in September" from a hamstring injury. Zimmerman was placed on the disabled list on July 23. Diamondbacks: In his fourth rehab appearance, Daniel Hudson tossed one scoreless inning with two strikeouts Tuesday night in the Arizona Rookie League. The right-hander hasnt pitched at the major league level since 2012 after sustaining an elbow injury that resulted in Tommy John surgery twice. UP NEXT Arizonas Wade Miley (7-9, 4.46 ERA) faces fellow left-hander Gio Gonzalez (6-9, 4.06) on Thursday in the finale of the four-game set. NOT JUST A PITCHER Leading 1-0 in the sixth, Roark deftly fielded Miguel Monteros grounder to start an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play after the Diamondbacks put runners on the corners with one out.
