James Wood’s 446-Foot Grand Slam | MLB News

James Wood just launched a jaw-dropping 446-foot grand slam, tying Michael A. Taylor for the longest by a Nationals player since 2015—and it was the perfect punctuation to a wild 12-11 comeback win over the Astros. Down 6-1 early, the Nats exploded for 11 runs in the third and fifth innings, with Wood’s blast sealing the deal and pushing his RBI total to 60. It’s been a breakout season for Wood, who’s also earned his second All-Star nod, already hitting 24 homers (7th in MLB) and proving himself a cornerstone for Washington. Meanwhile, teammates CJ Abrams and Curtis Mead also homered, joining the Dodgers as the only team with multiple players hitting 15+ homers this year. This win is a statement: the Nationals are fighting back, and when Wood steps up in the biggest moments, they’re a team to fear.
