Nationals Fall in Heartbreaker

The Nationals’ hopes soared early with back-to-back homers from Luis García Jr. and Jorbit Vivas, but a late-inning collapse sealed another heartbreaker — this time a 5-4 loss to the Phillies. Carson Palmquist pitched well in his debut, but stranded runners and a shaky bullpen doomed them. Curtis Mead’s clutch two-run homer gave them a lead, only for the Phillies to tie it with a walk and a two-run blast in the ninth. Another tough loss, another chance to bounce back tomorrow night against the Phillies — then the Orioles await. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
