An Intense Defensive Battle
Hey Nationals fans! It was a nail-biter from start to finish, but our team managed to squeeze past the Cubs with a well-earned 2-0 victory. Both sides started out strong defensively, and it was a game that kept us on the edge of our seats!Early Defensive Mastery
The first six innings were a masterclass in defense. Our ace pitcher held the Cubs at bay, and we managed to stop numerous scoring chances. Every time the Cubs seemed like they might break through, our boys shut them down. Special credit goes to C.J. Abrams and Amed Rosario for some slick fieldwork.
Breaking Through in the Lucky Seventh
The breakthrough moment came in the bottom of the seventh when Amed Rosario launched a majestic homer to right field, bringing us to life as we finally got on the scoreboard, 1-0. But we weren't done! In the eighth inning, Alex Call demonstrated clutch hitting with a single, giving Nasim Nuñez the chance to double and then score, putting us in a solid 2-0 lead.

What a way to end it!Big shoutout to our team for the resilience and tactical prowess showed tonight. Let's keep this momentum going, Nats!
