The game also featured strong contributions from players like Luis Garcia Jr., and a rough outing for Diamondbacks' pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who struggled significantly in the first inning.
We should get used to it. You play this game to win. Ideally, you show up every day with a chance to compete and win. Losing's not why we play at all.
I've been a part of some crooked numbers, but that was a good one. It was nice to jump on a solid major league starter and put up a first inning like that.
We put together some good at-bats, everybody did. We spread the ball around the field. We ended up scoring a bunch of runs, which we definitely needed tonight.
The Nationals finished May with a 15-12 record, which is their first winning month since August 2023.
