Trevor Williams and the Nationals fell short in the afternoon game of a doubleheader. MacKenzie Gore will aim to secure a victory in the night game. Andry Lara made a notable debut, pitching 3.0 scoreless innings and striking out four batters. Manager Dave Martinez expressed hope that Williams' performance was merely a one-off. In terms of WAR, James Wood leads the team with +3.5, followed by MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams. Defensive statistics show Jacob Young excelling, while Daylen Lile and Luis Garcia Jr. are struggling significantly.
Andry Lara's debut statistically one of the best in Nats history as his 3.0 innings of scoreless relief saved the bullpen. His strikeout of Riley Greene, who had a pair of 3-run homers, was a highlight in his four strikeouts.
I really hope this is just a one-off. Really just one bad inning. We'll talk to him, see how he's feeling tomorrow. I know he's going to work on some things.
On defense, the stats are clear as to what his defense is all about. Jacob Young is the team's at +6.0 and Brady House is now on the list at +1.0.
One of the newest Nats, Daylen Lile, is already at a -5.0 OAA and that is unsustainable as that is one of the worst marks in baseball if you extrapolated it for a full-season.
