Episode Details

Jazz Chisholm Jr. crushed a two-run homer in the ninth to seal a 5-3 Yankees win over the Nationals in a fireworks-filled slugfest, as both teams showcased their league-leading power. Ben Rice, Jasson Domínguez, and Austin Wells joined Chisholm with homers, while Keibert Ruiz and James Wood answered for Washington. The Nationals briefly led 3-2 after back-to-back blasts in the seventh, but Matt Krook’s shaky ninth—his first appearance since struggling this season—gave Chisholm the chance to deliver. Austin Wells added insurance with a solo shot. David Bednar earned the win in relief. The Yankees remain four games back in the AL East. The game, delayed two hours by rain, featured a wet field that may have hindered Washington’s late rally, including a slip by a runner at third. Paul Goldschmidt ended a hitless streak with a single, and Ben Rice stayed in despite fouling a ball off his leg. The Yankees now turn their focus to their next challenge.
