What a nail-biter of a game, Nats fans!
The Washington Nationals have pulled off a heart-thumping 12-11 victory over the Colorado Rockies in a game that had us on the edge of our seats till the final strikeout.Crews Leads the Charge
Our bats were on fire today, especially thanks to Dylan Crews who had a colossal game! His two home runs and a double were key in building our aggressive offensive lead. James Wood and Josh Bell also showcased their power with crucial homers; Wood's three-run homer in the 4th was particularly spectacular, soaring 426 feet.
Rockies' Late Push Tested Nats' Resolve
Despite a commanding 12-2 lead by the middle of the 7th inning, the Rockies made a fierce comeback attempt, cutting the lead down to just one run. A grand triple by Bouchard and another by Beck kept the Rockies in striking distance. Luckily, our bullpen, with the likes of Kyle Finnegan coming through, shut the door on any further runs, sealing the victory with style.

Huge props to our pitching staff for managing to keep their composure under pressure in the high-altitude environment of Coors Field. This win is a testament to our team's fight and spirit! Let's keep this momentum going, Nationals fans!
