Arizona DiamondbacksvsWashington Nationals
ARI 7/WSH 10
Things to say
The Nationals beat the Diamondbacks 10-7 at Nationals Park.
01
opener
Nats took it 10-7, back-and-forth the whole way. Both bullpens got knocked around. Ten runs at home will play.
02
key player
Whoever hit in the middle of that Washington order was locked in — the heart of the order did all the damage.
03
hot take
Seven runs and Arizona still loses? That's on the pitching, not the bats.
04
deep cut
Arizona's a game over .500 and just dropped this one. That road trip is quietly slipping.
05
exit
Getaway day tomorrow — let's see if the D-backs can steal one before they leave town.
The recap
Slugfest at Nationals Park, and Washington came out on top of it 10-7. Ten runs means the bats were rolling all afternoon, and the Nats needed every one because Arizona kept clawing back into it.
Feels like both bullpens got lit up on a getaway day where nobody wanted to be out there on the mound. Nationals climb back over .500 at 54-52, D-backs drop a winnable one.
