Nationals Home Opener Turns Sour: Mikolas Surrenders Record-Breaking Eleven Earned Runs

The Nationals home opener against the Dodgers ended in a disappointing 11-4 loss, despite an early three-run lead. Starting pitcher Miles Mikolas set a team record by allowing eleven earned runs, following a perfect first two innings. The Dodgers lineup, featuring Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Andy Pages, went on a homerun spree, scoring eleven runs in the third to fifth innings.

Manager Blake Butera acknowledged Mikolas struggle against the elite lineup. Despite the blowout, the Nationals offense showed resilience, with every starter getting a hit. CJ Abrams and Brady House had standout performances, with Abrams hitting his second straight homer and House drawing two walks. Jake Irvin will take the mound tomorrow, aiming to bounce back from the loss.
