Nationals vs. Giants, 2014 NLDS Game 3: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online

The Washington Nationals' season is on the brink as their series against the San Francisco Giants heads to the Bay Area for Game 3 on Monday. The Nationals dropped the first two games of the NLDS at home and now need to win back-to-back matchups at AT&T Park this week in order to send things back to D.C. for a possible Game 5.

The Giants and Nats enter Monday coming off a historic 18-inning game at Nationals Park on Saturday night. Brandon Belt hit the game-winning homer in the top of the 18th after a full game's worth of bonus, scoreless action, stunning a crowd that witnessed two one-run losses in two games.

Now Washington has Doug Fister taking the mound with elimination looming, while the Giants are going with ace lefty Madison Bumgarner. If the more experienced Fister can't come up with a better performance than teammates Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg did in Games 1 and 2, the Nationals will be packing up for the winter without even a single victory in October.

That'll be tough against Bumgarner, who has pitched 16 consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason. The big lefty pitched a shutout to eliminate Pittsburgh in this year's NL Wild Card Game, and is entering the game on full rest.
