On July 26th, CJ Abrams is on a serious tear for the Nationals, dropping two bombs on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
This win helped Washington take the series and put them right in the mix for a wild card spot. Just one game back from Arizona. Abrams has been absolutely crushing it lately with seven homers and 14 RBIs in his last seven games. This power surge from Abrams is historic for the team. He's now the first national to hit seven homers in a seven game stretch since Kyle Swarbrick back in 2021 Plus, his 27 homers this season are the most ever by a national shortstop, surpassing Ian Desmond's 25 from 2012
The game itself was a back and forth affair. The Nationals were down four to two heading into the fifth inning, but James Wood tied it up with his 29th homer.
Then Abrams stepped up and delivered a two run shot that gave Washington the lead for good. It wasn't just Abrams though. James Wood also had a two homer game, joining Adam Dunn as the only players with back to back 30 homer seasons since the team moved to Washington. The offense really came alive in the seventh with some clutch doubles to extend the lead. The bullpen held on to secure the win, with Clayton Beeter picking up his 10th save. It was a huge series win for the Nationals as they continued their push for the postseason. That's your update from Washington Nationals News Today, powered by AI.
