Back Above .500

The Nats beat the Diamondbacks 6-1 on Saturday afternoon to move back above .500 through 65 games played. Mark (From Arizona ) & Al start with the offense; that jumped out 2-0 right away for the second straight day. Curtis Mead hit a 2-run HR in the top of the 1st with James Wood on base. (08:45) Dylan Crews homered in the 7th to put Washington ahead 3-1.  Crews was 1 for his last 17 entering that at bat. (14:45) Nasim Nuñez knocked in a pair of runs and stole his 23rd base of the season. Nuñez is tied for the MLB lead along with Jose Ramirez & Bobby Witt Jr. (17:40) Zack Littell had another good outing as his dismal April is becoming more and more of a distant memory. Littell lasted five innings and his ERA has dropped to 4.76. Has he pitched his way into being on the Nationals in 2027? (25:00) Brad Lord tossed the final two innings and is yet another reliever to have notched a Save this season for the Nationals. (30:00) Cole Henry was optioned to AAA after the win.
