Dominant Win in Washington! 
What a game, Giants fans! Our boys took on the Washington Nationals and walked away with a solid 7-4 victory. This win showcased both our offensive prowess and our incredible pitching depth. Let's break down how it all unfolded.Early Inning Drama 
The first couple of innings were quiet, with both teams unable to get on the board. A couple of walks and singles for us, but we couldn't capitalize right away. It wasn't until the top of the 3rd inning that we started to see some action! LaMonte Wade Jr. and Heliot Ramos managed to get on base, setting the stage for Michael Conforto to drive in Wade Jr. with a single. Matt Chapman then brought Ramos home, giving us an early 2-0 lead. Unfortunately, the Nats answered back quickly with a three-run homer by Yepez, putting them up 3-2. But our guys didn't let that dampen their spirits!
Mid-Game Power Surge 
The top of the 4th was where Mike Yastrzemski shone, blasting a solo homer to tie the game at 3-3. Our momentum continued into the 5th inning when Ramos and Chapman both homered, giving us a solid 5-3 lead. Yas and Chapman were hitting bombs today! 
The 6th inning saw more fireworks when Yastrzemski tripled, scoring Tyler Fitzgerald, followed by Jerar Encarnacion's single to bring Yastrzemski home. This made the score 7-3 in our favor!
Closing It Out 
Our bullpen did a fantastic job of keeping the Nationals in check. Snell, Miller, Walker, Tyler Rogers, and Camilo Doval all took the mound and held their ground. Yes, the Nats managed to add one more run in the 7th inning, but that was it for them!In the 9th inning, with the Nats attempting a rally, Doval came in and delivered beautifully. Despite a bit of a scare with a hit-by-pitch to Ruiz, he managed to induce a double play to finally wrap things up.
Standout Performances
Yastrzemski was definitely the star of the game with his homer and triple, driving in crucial runs. Ramos and Chapman also deserve kudos for their power hits that set the tone. Our pitching staff held strong, showing depth and resilience.All in all, it was a team effort that got us this fantastic win. Way to go, Giants! Let's carry this momentum forward!
