Episode Details

The Washington Nationals are red hot!

The Nats defeated the Houston Astros 8-2 to win another series, and once again the story was the combination of elite offense and dominant starting pitching.

Foster Griffin was sensational: 7 IP 1 ER 9 K 0 BB 2.77 ERA on the season

At this point, Foster Griffin isn't just pitching like an All-Star… he's pitching like an ACE.

Meanwhile, the Nationals offense continues to make history.

Luis García Jr. hit his 20th home run of the season. CJ Abrams also reached the 20-homer mark. James Wood continued his incredible stretch by drawing three more walks.

The Nationals now have THREE players with at least 20 home runs and 60 RBIs before the All-Star break, something almost nobody predicted entering 2026.

In this episode of the Nats Minutecast: Foster Griffin's dominant outing Why the Nationals offense is one of baseball's best CJ Abrams and Luis García Jr. making history Why the trade deadline is becoming complicated Should Washington BUY instead of SELL?
