It's June 6th. You're listening to Washington Nationals News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Luis García Jr. had a monster night for the Nationals, dropping two bombs in their 14-1 victory over the Dbacks. He kicked things off with a two-run shot early on, then came back in the sixth with his first career Grand Slam. This makes García the first Nats player since Matt Adams back in 2019, to hit both a Grand Slam and another homer in the same game.
Back then, García was still grinding in AA, so this is a pretty significant step up. It's his second multi-homer game this season and the fifth of his career. He also went deep twice back on May 12th against the Reds.
This Grand Slam was the Nationals fourth of the year, with previous ones from Brady House, CJ Abrams and James Wood. Speaking of Wood, he also got in on the action, launching his 17th homer of the season, Daylen Lile added another blast in the fifth. The Nats offense was firing on all cylinders, even batting around in the third inning. Jorbit Vivas broke a long slump with runners in scoring position hitting a two run double that inning. The whole lineup was contributing to that big win.
