Have to save bullets for tomorrow. I would go Salazar in the ninth. Give him 5 batters

what a catch, way to not block the basepatn and way to hold on by Ruiz

Looked safe in realtime but that replay slow has me thinking

2nd base ump just wants to go home.

This was certainly a strange one but a W is a W

Henry does the job

What a game

Looks like I missed some excitement from going sleep at 11-0. Oh well they all count.

Rutledge just isn’t the answer. He maybe on the team by season end but will not be next year. Cut your losses now Rizzo.

He has way too much stuff to give up on.

What losses? He’s under team control for years to come.

Our 2025 Nationals took the first series, against the D-Backs, so good to see them taking full advantage of the form-book, while they can. Sterner tests to come, but we'll enjoy it, for now...

Trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. A high draft choice who has had a downward trajectory in the MiLB . Went from a starter to relief and hasn't shown much despite having "good" stuff. He can't throw strikes and is very hittable. Send him back to Rochester.

Grateful that these late night starts are finally done with.

He was doing fine up until the last couple appearances. His ERA was under 3.00 before those games. Let’s see how he adjusts. Some have anyone to replace him that would be better?

Me, too. Soroka was steaming along, Bob and Branny were calling the Nats to keep adding runs. I told the GDT crowd to keep Arizona down...sounds like I missed some anxious innings.

Come on, Nats! Win today. Sweep them!

Quote

Washington’s nine runs were the second-most scored before a first out of the game in the expansion era (since 1961). The Red Sox hold the record with 10 runs on June 27, 2003, per Elias Sports Bureau.

The Nationals tied the National League record with nine runs before the first out, not done since the Phillies on Aug. 13, 1948.
