Bullpen Meltdown Ends Nats’ Win Streak | Washington Nationals News
Description
The Nationals’ hopes of a comeback were dashed Friday night when a late-game bullpen meltdown handed the Yankees a 5-3 win. After Keibert Ruiz and James Wood sparked a one-run lead with back-to-back homers in the 7th, the Nationals’ relief ace Matt Krook faced a tough ninth—only to watch Jasson Domínguez and Jazz Chisholm Jr. turn the tide with a single and a crushing go-ahead homer. The loss deepens a troubling trend: the Nationals lead the league with 26 blown saves and have surrendered four ninth-inning go-ahead homers in their last 16 games. Still, James Wood remains a beacon of hope, nearly hitting for the cycle and powering the lineup with three homers in his last four games.
