Nationals Rally Past Astros 12-11 | MLB News

The Nationals pulled off a jaw-dropping 12-11 thriller against the Astros, clawing back from a five-run deficit and exploding for a wild offensive barrage. James Wood’s game-changing grand slam in the fifth, paired with three-hit, three-RBI nights from CJ Abrams and Curtis Mead (who also hit a go-ahead homer), turned the tide. Houston’s early six-run lead evaporated as Washington answered with five runs in the third, and despite a late Astros rally capped by Brice Matthews’ three-run homer, the Nats’ bullpen held strong. Meanwhile, pitcher Cade Cavalli’s suspension was cut from seven to five games, and he began serving it yesterday. The series continues tonight with Tatsuya Imai facing Andrew Alvarez.
