The Washington Nationals pulled off the improbable last night with a win over the Phillies in a 9th inning stunner with a first blown save tagged on Phillies’ closer Jhoan Duran. The stars of the game were Riley Adams with a 3-run homer in the first inning, and key hits by Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile in the 9th inning to combine for the two runs to get the Nats a 5-4 win, and to extend the Nats to a modest 3-game winning streak.

The Washington Nationals shocked the New York Mets who blew a 3-run lead as the Nats scored 9-unanswered runs. There is a new positive vibe for Miguel Cairo‘s team. As always, the question is whether the Nationals can continue with this new positivity.

Was the bigger game in Fredericksburg or Nationals Park yesterday? The Washington Nationals’ bullpen has looked like a completely different group the last two games, and yesterday, they were better than they’ve maybe been all season. MacKenzie Gore gave the Nats a shortened start as the Mets got to him and his pitch count pretty early in the game, knocking him out in the fifth inning. Normally, this would spell disaster for the Nats, having to rely on 14 outs from the bullpen, but all they did yesterday was throw 4⅔ scoreless, 1-hit innings to allow the offense to run away with a series-clinching victory.
Simultaneous to James Wood hitting a 3-run home run in the 8th inning was №1 draft pick and prospect, Eli Willits, hitting his first RBI in his first pro game just 55 miles south in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The 17-year-old finished with a 3-for-4 game, SB, 2 RBIs, and more. An absolutely huge day for the Washington Nationals organization.

The Washington Nationals evened the series last night. On a getaway afternoon game at Nationals Park, the Nats have a chance to return some disappointment to the visiting team on this day. If MacKenzie Gore can be the ace, this might make for a great chance for the Nats to win this series ahead of their trip up I-95 to Philadelphia.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Washington Nationals had a bullpen last night. And a great one, at that. Not to discredit Brad Lord, for his first 5.0 innings, he was tremendous. He just ran into trouble in the sixth, muddying his stat line for the night. Not sure why he was left out there to put four base runners on, of which three scored, in quick order. The offense wasn’t great, but they scored five runs, and did just enough against Mets’ starter Kodai Senga to get a big win, and evened this series at a game apiece.
It was the Nats’ bullpen, covering 3⅔ innings of scoreless 1-hit baseball, that saved this game from what was headed towards self-destruction. A job well done by Cole Henry, Shinnosuke Ogasawara (小笠原 慎之介), Clayton Beeter, and Jose A. Ferrer.

In the blockbuster 2022 trade of Juan Soto for CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, James Wood, Robert Hassell III, and Jarlin Susana, the Washington Nationals now have all of those players on their MLB roster except for Susana. On Tuesday night, the star of that night was Susana who put himself on a 23.4 strikeout pace in a 9-inning game.

The Washington Nationals’ wins seem to be inexplicably tied to a decent start by their pitcher and James Wood delivering an RBI. They didn’t get either yesterday and lost 8-1. Tonight’s hopes are on starter Brad Lord continuing his dominance.

Well, that was depressing. The Nationals have struggled all year against lefties, we know that. But David Peterson just seems to be in a class completely by himself. In two starts against the Nats this year, he’s thrown 17 innings of one-run ball. Another stat I saw last night that made my head spin was that the Nationals are now 1-13 all-time when facing Peterson. That’s a different kind of dominance; that’s ownership at the highest level.

The Washington Nationals had a much needed day-off yesterday after going hard in the 13 consecutive games before that. In the past 9-games, the Nats have a 5-4 record, and finally shown some improvement. Getting Dylan Crews back certainly has put the lineup closer to what we envisioned with this younger roster.

When it was announced that Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews – recently activated from his oblique injury – was set to be return on August 14th, there was a great deal of speculation as to which of their four young outfielders would have to exit to open a spot for him on the 26-man roster. Washington sent shockwaves through the MLB world that day when they announced the young outfielder in question was instead veteran first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, who had been designated for assignment and later released, ending his tenure with the team less than a year after it began.

"Opening Day should be a National holiday"
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
