Episode Details

The Nationals blasted the Pirates 9-1 in a scorching 100-degree showdown at Nationals Park — the third hottest game ever at the ballpark. Luis García Jr. and Daylen Lile each crushed two homers, José Tena added a two-run shot, as Washington’s offense roared to life, leading MLB with 85 homers since early May. García’s monster season continues — matching his career-high in homers, leading the team in RBIs, and dominating since late May with more RBIs than anyone in the league. Starter Foster Griffin held steady through the heat, giving up just one run in five innings, while the bullpen shut down the Pirates, including a clutch strikeout by Clayton Beeter to end a bases-loaded threat. The win marks the Nationals’ third straight victory, fueled by a dominant power surge that’s turning heads across baseball.
