Lile Powers Nationals Past Key Absences | MLB News

Lile explodes out of his slump with a three-run homer and two more hits, catapulting his season total to 15 homers as the Nationals smash 170 team homers—leading the league. With key players gone, Lile’s breakout is timely, fueled by improved pitch selection and timing. The pitching holds strong too: Cavalli delivers a quality start despite early homers, backed by stellar defense and double plays. The bullpen seals it with Yovanny Cruz stepping up and Clayton Beeter locking down his 12th save. It’s a perfect storm of offense and defense when the team needs it most.
