The Washington Nationals has Miami in for a 3 game series. The Marlins just left CitiField in last place while mired in a 5 game losing streak. The Nats would like to add to the Marlins woes, truth be told.

On paper, this is a tough pitching matchup tonight between two Opening Day starters of Cade Cavalli for the Nats and Sandy Alcantara for the Marlins.

Postgamer #56: This is real right?? Nats improve to two games over .500, win another road series: A recap

Posted on May 27, 2026 by Ryan MacReynolds

On a day that featured celebrations of all kinds after the Nationals finally cracked an above-.500 record last night, including a literal parade in DC (shoutout Grant and Danny), the Nationals added to the party with their fourth consecutive win. This one started similarly to last night’s game, as the Nats’ hitters did an unbelievable job of grinding out at-bats against Cleveland’s starter, Joey Cantillo. After Washington put up a four-run second inning to take a 4-0 lead, Cantillo’s pitch count was already at 69 pitches despite only having six outs under his belt. The early offense was supplemented by another great outing by Cade Cavalli, and a three-inning relief appearance by Mitchell Parker to slam the door on Cleveland, and hand the Nationals another series victory over a good ball club.

The Washington Nationals enter tonight’s game at one game over .500 with a 28-27 record. If the Nats win tonight to go two games over .500, the last time the Nationals have been at that level in the mid-season would have been June 30, 2021 — the high mark of that season.
