Nationals Surge Past .500

The Nationals stunned the baseball world with a two-game-to-one road sweep of the Guardians, finally cracking the .500 mark with a 29-28 record — their first winning record since July 2021. Pitching stepped up even in the loss, allowing just one earned run, while James Wood exploded offensively, going 8-for-12 with two homers and walks in the series. Baseball Reference now gives them a 15% shot at the playoffs — up from under 1% just a month ago — as they lead MLB in runs scored and show signs of life after a long postseason drought since 2019.
