The Washington Nationals edged out a 4-3 victory over the Diamondbacks, highlighted by a historic ending with a caught-stealing incident. Mitchell Parker secured his second win, while Kyle Finnegan claimed his second save. Despite the Diamondbacks' 28 balls-in-play and more walks than hits, the Nats exhibited defensive errors. James Wood's double brought in crucial runs, contributing to the close win. With a 2-6 record, the Nationals are looking to build momentum as they prepare for their upcoming series against the Dodgers, especially with pitching adjustments necessary due to an injury.
As I always say, 'One more than the other guys always works.' We hung in there.
The game ended on a caught-stealing, a first in Nats' history to see a game end that way.
They actually had more walks than hits as they worked six freebies and reached once on an error.
The Nats made mistakes in a throwing error and not properly covering a base. The Nats were fortunate, and mostly because BABIP turned in their favor.
