Imanaga Shuts Down Nationals | Washington Nationals News

The Cubs are closing out a strong six-game road trip with a three-game series against the injury-riddled Nationals in D.C., riding momentum from their win streak against the Royals. Shota Imanaga, firing on all cylinders with a stellar ERA and a new slider in his arsenal, takes the mound tonight against Jake Irvin, fresh off a shoulder rehab. While the Nationals struggle with injuries—including star slugger James Wood—Cubs’ Nico Hoerner is heating up, delivering clutch power and driving runs. Don’t sleep on C.J. Abrams either; he’s crushing homers and swiping bases at an elite pace. This one’s got everything: pitching duel, breakout performances, and a chance for the Cubs to lock down another series win before heading home.
