The Washington Nationals' offense rebounded in July, marked by a significant 11-7 win over the Detroit Tigers, initiated by Paul DeJong's three-run homer. Despite an early 3-0 deficit, DeJong's hit energized the team, as Manager Dave Martinez acknowledged their relentless performance. The Nationals improved their offensive output from averaging 3.92 runs in June to over seven runs during the series against Detroit. James Wood notably contributed with a five-hit game and his 23rd homer, demonstrating improved plate discipline and performance in his first full MLB season.
"For me to be able to come through for the team, that felt really great. Especially after they scored three in the first, to be able to kind of punch back, I thought that was huge for the team and our mentality carried on through the rest of the game."
"Just the way these guys played, they were relentless. The at-bats were really good all day."
"That's one way to slug, too. I just like getting on base any way I can and just having guys drive me in."
"When he stays in the middle of the field and hits the ball hard, that’s what he does."
