Washington Nationals

Since returning from injury, Luis Garcia Jr. has been on a tear, and his torrid pace continued in Tuesday’s 10-4 win.

The pup is set to appear at several games and community events throughout the season.

Cade Cavalli allowed two runs and four hits with four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings for the Nationals.

Mitchell Parker (2-1) allowed five hits and five runs in one inning of relief for the Nationals.

Pitching dominated after the teams combined for all five runs in the first inning.

Messaging can go a long way at the major league level. Delivering tough messages requires empathy, which can get lost in the data-driven ways of most modern franchises.

Just one game after catcher Drew Millas had his best offensive showing of the season against the Twins, Keibert Ruiz delivered three extra-base hits for Washington on Thursday.

Five Nationals (James Wood, Jacob Young, Abrams, Brady House and Drew Millas) recorded at least two hits.

Cade Cavalli’s fourth-inning struggles were the main culprit for the Nationals’ 11-3 loss to the Twins on Tuesday night. He threw 40 pitches in that inning alone.

“His prep work is amazing,” catcher Drew Millas said. “He’s just got a different demeanor about him the past few weeks and has really leaned into just being himself and going out there, just kind of being free and kind of pitching to his own tune.”

The Nationals salvaged one game from their series against Milwaukee at Nationals Park.

Jacob Misiorowski dominated the Nationals with his overpowering arsenal and pure stuff that made him a 2025 All-Star after just five career starts.

Luis García Jr. singled on the first pitch of the eighth, and Daylen Lile beat out the relay throw to avoid a double play. Abrams drove a hanging changeup 403 feet to right-center.

Curtis Mead homered late and had four of Washington’s 15 hits as the Nationals set a season high for runs.

Nationals starter Zack Littell permitted all eight runs, four earned, in 3 2/3 innings.

Washington starter Foster Griffin allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings and lowered his ERA to 2.67.

Washington starter Jake Irvin allowed four hits, struck out nine and walked none.

With the potential tying run at third base, Nationals leadoff hitter James Wood — who has the fourth-best OPS in the league — struck out swinging and Seranthony Domínguez earned his sixth save.

James Wood homered on a fastball over the middle of the strike zone in the first inning, his National League-leading 10th home run of the season, and CJ Abrams went deep on a changeup below the strike zone in the fourth.
