**Corey** (0:00)
On June 20th, so the Nationals pulled off a tough win against the Rays 4-3 on Saturday. It was a real nail-biter with some incredible plays keeping them in the game. The defense was absolutely on point. In the eighth inning, center fielder Jacob Young made a jaw-dropping catch at the wall, robbing the Rays of a potential extra base hit. He even managed to get the ball back in play, preventing a runner from advancing. Earlier in the game, right fielder Dylan Crews made a diving catch with runners on, and shortstop CJ Abrams turned an acrobatic double play.
The bullpen also stepped up, shutting down the Rays for most of the later innings. The Nationals took the lead in the fifth inning and added an insurance run in the ninth with the solo homer. They really showed up when it mattered most. It was a combination of timely hitting and stellar defense that secured the victory evening up the series.
