CJ Abrams Shatters Records with Back-to-Back HRs | Washington Nationals News

CJ Abrams just went nuclear again, crushing two homers Sunday to lead the Nationals to a huge win over the Diamondbacks and keep them hot in the Wild Card race. In his last seven games, he’s blasted seven homers and driven in 14 runs — a historic run that makes him the first Nats shortstop to hit 27 homers in a season, breaking Ian Desmond’s 2012 record. The game was a thriller: down 4-2 in the 5th, James Wood tied it with his 29th homer, then Abrams delivered a two-run blast to seal it. Wood also added a second homer, joining Adam Dunn as the only players with back-to-back 30-homer seasons since the move to D.C. The offense exploded in the 7th with clutch doubles, and Clayton Beeter locked it down with his 10th save. This win puts Washington just one game behind Arizona — and they’re playing like contenders.
