"For the team on the field, the penultimate game was a tough one, as the Nationals were shutout by the visiting Chicago White Sox in ugly fashion, dropping the game 8-0 and only recording 1 hit in the process. The 2025 season was the first one in a long time in which there was not a single no-hitter recorded, but the Nationals tried their hardest to give White Sox starter Shane Smith a good chance to get one done in Game 162."
"However, the star of the day was legendary longtime broadcaster Bob Carpenter, who received a ton of praise from many around the sport and baseball world all weekend long. On Saturday, the Nationals held a tribute ceremony with their "See You Later Day," which was all about celebrating Carpenter and his 2 decades of work for the Nationals organization. The touching final tributes came on Sunday, as the Nationals played Carpenter an awesome tribute video that included appearances from broadcasting legends such as Joe Buck,"
The Washington Nationals finished the 2025 season with fewer than 71 wins and a generally disappointing record. The penultimate game ended in an 8-0 shutout loss to the visiting Chicago White Sox, with the team recording a single hit late in the sixth inning to break a potential no-hitter by White Sox starter Shane Smith. The 2025 season produced no official no-hitters, a rarity in recent years. James Wood narrowly avoided breaking the single-season strikeout record. Rookie Daylen Lile finished with a batting average just under .300 after a stellar debut. Longtime broadcaster Bob Carpenter received extensive tributes, including a See You Later Day ceremony, a tribute video featuring notable broadcasters, and a team-wide tip of the cap.
