Washington Nationals

The first baseman finished with three hits and five RBIs as the Nationals clinched a series victory.

Foster Griffin pitches seven strong innings as the Nationals end their losing streak.

COLUMN | Let’s not forget that the Nationals have the best offense in baseball. Even with the potential for regression, the hitters haven’t shown signs of stopping.

After trailing 5-0, the Phillies score 10 consecutive runs to clinch the series at Nationals Park.

Washington leads the majors with 23 blown saves, seven more than the Tigers.

For many members of the LBGTQIA+ community who attended the event on Wednesday night, it feels like a welcoming, safe environment to form meaningful bonds and celebrate.

Many players exchange bats and jerseys to hang in their man caves. Now they’re collecting baseball cards, too.

Abrams, a one-time All-Star, has been relatively healthy this season, appearing at shortstop for 77 games while being a reliable presence in the lineup.

The Nationals’ nightmarish ninth inning just wouldn’t end.

​Griffin threw 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball, striking out nine and issuing zero walks. He was aggressive and precise — 70% of his pitches were strikes — keeping the Phillies off-balance all night.

Crews finished 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts as the Nationals fell 4-3 to the Rays and failed to earn a series win.

No one has asked more of his bullpen this season than Blake Butera. And on Saturday, after Cade Cavalli could complete only 2 2/3 innings, he asked for more.

“He loves what he does, so he’s really bought in and trying to have as much information as he possibly can to help us out,” reliever Clayton Beeter said.

Washington’s offense, the backbone of this team, was dominated by Royals starter Luinder Avila, who recorded two outs and allowed eight runs in his previous start against the Houston Astros.

Nasim Nuñez reached base in all four of his plate appearances, hitting two triples, earning two walks, driving in a run and scoring three more in the team’s victory.

The 7-3 victory extended the Nationals' winning streak to three games and pushed them three games above .500 for the first time since 2019 when they won the World Series.

Lile’s defensive improvements allow him to add more value even when he’s not raking. He’s almost eclipsed his FanGraphs wins above replacement total from last season (1.4) in 22 fewer games (1.3).

The Nationals improved to 37-35 overall and 14-21 at home. They’ve won three straight series after being swept against the Marlins at the beginning of the month.

Luis García Jr.’s two-run homer reenergized the team and the fans after two demoralizing losses.
