It's July 21st. This is Washington Nationals News Today, AI-powered stories from inside your team. So the Nationals, they're already leading the league in home runs, right? They went into Coors Field, a place where the ball just flies, and their manager told them, yo, don't try to do too much, and guess what?
That strategy worked. They ended up winning 7-3 against the Rockies, and most of their runs came from three big homers.
The first one was from Andres Chaparro in the first inning, a three-run shot that went an estimated 427 feet. This dude's been on fire lately, by the way. He had a monster game last Friday, going four for five with two homers and eight RBIs.
Then in the sixth, Jacob Young broke a 3-3 tie with his first homer since early June. That one was a solo shot, projected to go 437 feet. It's his first long ball in a while, and it put the Nats ahead. And to seal the deal, CJ Abrams hit his 22nd homer of the season. It was a two-run shot, about 420 feet, giving them some breathing room. He's been hitting them pretty consistently, with two in his last two games. It just goes to show, sometimes sticking to the game plan, even when you're in a hitters' park, is the smartest play. They didn't need to swing for the fences on every pitch, they just needed to execute.
