    NATIONALS DOMINATE ASTROS! Foster Griffin SHOVES, García & Abrams Reach 20 HR | Trade Deadline Talk

    The Washington Nationals are red hot! The Nats defeated the Houston Astros 8-2 to win another series, and once again the story was the combination of elite offense and dominant starting pitching. Foster Griffin was sensational: 7 IP 1 ER 9 K 0 BB 2.77 ERA on the season At this point, Foster Griffin isn't just pitching like an All-Star… he's pitching like an ACE. Meanwhile, the Nationals offense continues to make history. Luis García Jr. hit his 20th home run of the season. CJ Abrams also reached the 20-homer mark. James Wood continued his incredible stretch by drawing three more walks. The Nationals now have THREE players with at least 20 home runs and 60 RBIs before the All-Star break, something almost nobody predicted entering 2026. In this episode of the Nats Minutecast: Foster Griffin's dominant outing Why the Nationals offense is one of baseball's best CJ Abrams and Luis García Jr. making history Why the trade deadline is becoming complicated Should Washington BUY instead of SELL? Could Foster Griffin or Keibert Ruiz actually be traded? The Nationals are firmly in the playoff race and the front office has some massive decisions to make over the next few weeks.

    Nationals Beat Themselves in 6-3 Loss to Astros | Blake Butera Calls Out Andrew Alvarez, Dylan Crews' Missed Opportunity

    The Washington Nationals let a winnable game slip away in a 6-3 loss to the Houston Astros, and manager Blake Butera didn't hold back afterward. In this episode of the Nats Minutecast, we break down Butera's pointed comments about Andrew Alvarez "pitching scared" after issuing five walks and a hit batter, why Riley Cornelio's high-leverage performance may have been a turning point for the young reliever, and how Dylan Crews came within one swing of becoming the hero against Josh Hader. Plus: • James Wood keeps making history with another leadoff home run. • Why free passes continue to haunt the Nationals' young pitching staff. • The significance of Cornelio attacking the strike zone. • The learning moment for Dylan Crews in a bases-loaded showdown with one of baseball's best closers. • Why Wednesday's rubber game behind Foster Griffin suddenly feels much bigger. Can the Nationals bounce back and salvage the series, or is this another missed opportunity that will haunt them in the playoff race? #Natitude #Nats #WashingtonNationals #MLB #JamesWood #DylanCrews #AndrewAlvarez #BlakeButera #HoustonAstros #JoshHader #FosterGriffin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
