The Washington Nationals celebrated a series victory over the Rockies, winning the first two games of their doubleheader on Easter Sunday. With a thrilling 3-2 win in Game 1, Kyle Finnegan secured his 96th career save, moving past Drew Storen in Nationals history. The team also called up RHP Andry Lara for the doubleheader, marking a potential MLB debut for the promising prospect. Despite the success, the Nationals face challenges, notably having the worst bullpen in baseball, as they prepare for a day off after the series.
"That was almost like déjà vu there. Similar situation, but regardless of how the game has gone prior to coming in, you treat it the same. You separate it, you execute one pitch at a time." - Finnegan said after the first game of the doubleheader
The Nats have promoted RHP Andry Lara to the roster as the 27th player for this doubleheader. He is ranked 16th on MLB Pipeline's list for the Washington Nationals prospects.
Finnegan has passed Drew Storen for the second-most saves in Nationals history (2005-pres.) in his 300th appearance and in 300 innings.
The Nationals have the worst bullpen in baseball by a large margin.
