The bottom of the ninth showcased the Nationals' resilience and determination. CJ Abrams started with a single, followed by another single from James Wood. Luis García Jr. brought Abrams home, and Josh Bell got Wood across the plate. The score was now 4-2. When García Jr. later scored on a wild pitch, the intensity skyrocketed. Unfortunately, the Mets' Díaz managed to close the game before we could narrow the gap further.A Game Well Fought
