On August 6th, the Washington Nationals finally broke their seven-game losing streak, snagging a victory against the Philadelphia Phillies with a final score of 10-4 in extra innings. It was a hard-fought game that went all the way to the 11th inning before the Nationals pulled away.
Pitching was a bit of a carousel for Washington, with manager Blake Butera using seven different arms throughout the game. Jake Irvin got the start, going five and a third innings, but it was Clayton Beater who ultimately got the win. On the offensive side, CJ Abrams had a standout performance, going three for five with three runs batted in. The game was back and forth for most of the night. The Nationals took an early lead, but the Phillies quickly answered. A big moment came in the seventh inning when Brady House had a game-tying home run. The lead then changed hands a couple of times before the game headed into extra innings. In the 11th inning, the Nationals really sealed the deal. After getting runners on base, CJ Abrams hit a triple that drove in two runs.
Then, Miles Mikolas laid down a sacrifice bun to bring in another run. Washington added three more runs to secure the 10-4 win. The Nationals will try to carry this momentum into the next game, with Miles Mikolas scheduled to pitch. The series finale is set for Thursday night, with the first pitch at 6:05 PM.
