Chaparro and Nuñez Light Up the Park | MLB News

Two Nationals rookies, Andrés Chaparro and Nasim Nuñez, finally cracked the home run code on Opening Day, launching back-to-back bombs in a big win over the Red Sox. Chaparro crushed a fastball into the Green Monster seats, ending a slump, while Nuñez smacked his first homer in weeks off the bat of the first pitch he saw. The pitching staff held strong, allowing just two runs, as Washington now boasts 15 different home run hitters — led by James Wood with 22. This breakout moment signals promise for both rookies as the season heats up.
