The Washington Nationals got a really good day from their pitching on Saturday to win 4-2. There was certainly a power surge for the Nationals, but they still are not piecing together singles and doubles to score more runs.
This game marks the final West coast game of the season for the Nationals as they will fly next to Kansas City with just 45 games remaining in the season. First things first, the Nats have a series win to get today against the Giants.

In the same month that it appears the Nats’ opening day ace, MacKenzie Gore, is scuffling, another one has emerged in Brad Lord. He has been excellent since rejoining the starting rotation, and this afternoon was no exception. To save the day, Jose A. Ferrer entered with 1-out and bases loaded for the 5-out save to get the 4-2 win.

The Washington Nationals fell flat again yesterday, and another shutout loss. Today’s recipe facing a left-handed starter in a day-game isn’t a good mix. Per FanGraphs, in day games facing a left-handed starter, the Nats OPS is only .563. Add to that the struggles of some of the players overall, and the mix isn’t good.

The Washington Nationals are on the West coast again, albeit just a weekend trip before the Nats head to Kansas City for a 3-game series, and then back home to D.C. for a 4-game series against the Phillies to start on Thursday.

The Washington Nationals find themselves at a pivotal juncture in their rebuild, one defined not by past glories but by the emerging core talent ready to reshape their identity.

Not even 24-hours after the Nationals snapped a six game losing streak, they got another such streak started with a series-losing loss to the Athletics this afternoon. Similar to last night, there just wasn’t much to report on from the Nats throughout this game. I feel like I use the word ‘dud’ a lot but that’s exactly what this game was in terms of the offense and starting pitcher.

The Washington Nationals got an excellent scoreless start last night by Cade Cavalli followed by 3.0 final innings of shutout bullpen work to setup the walk-off heroics by Robert Hassell III and CJ Abrams to get the Nats a much-needed victory and end that nasty losing streak. What the Nats have to do now is piece together wins.

After nearly three years off the mound in Nationals Park, Cade Cavalli made a significant return to a big league mound tonight for the second time in his career and the first time since 2022. For those who missed it, he was everything we could have hoped for.
My expectations were very low for Cavalli as I’ve followed his minor league season this year, and he’s not been fooling many in Triple-A with a 6.09 ERA and 1.554 WHIP, but tonight, none of that mattered. He only made it through 4⅓ innings, but did so without allowing a run, generating 19 whiffs, and would have gone deeper had it not been for some shaky defense behind him that included two throwing errors.
This triumphant night for Cavalli was capped off by a walk-off single from CJ Abrams to score Robert Hassell III who led-off the 9th inning with a double. This ended the six-game losing streak and gave the Nationals a little joy amidst this dreadful homestand.

"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.
