Nationals News
The Nationals' recent struggles were on full display as they fell to the San Francisco Giants 10-5, marking their sixth home loss of the season and leaving them at a disappointing 1-6 at Nationals Park. With a pitching staff that has allowed an alarming 6.6 runs per game, Zack Littell's disastrous outing only compounded the team's woes. However, there are bright spots, CJ Abrams continues to shine, batting .364 and proving he could be a key piece of the franchise's future after being acquired in the Juan Soto trade. Meanwhile, Joey Wiemer, who started the season on the fringes, is trying to solidify his place with a breakout performance. As they look to bounce back this afternoon, the Nats need a strong showing from Cade Cavalli, especially after one of the worst starts of his career. The pressure is on, and the fans deserve better.
