The Washington Nationals' offense has come alive in a big way, capping off a four-game win streak with a historic 10-run first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Following back-to-back 9-run games and an 11-run outburst, the Nats opened Saturday night’s contest by sending 16 batters to the plate, recording 10 runs before the Diamondbacks could record a single out. Key contributors included CJ Abrams, Nathaniel Lowe, James Wood, and young call-ups like Angel Martinez and Dylan Crews. It marked just the second time since 1961 that a team had its first 11 batters reach base, highlighting a rare and electric display of lineup depth.

The bullpen once again played a crucial role, weathering a mid-game push from Arizona after starter Michael Soroka ran into trouble in the sixth. With Kyle Finnegan unavailable, young relievers like Henry and Ferrer stepped up to secure the 11–7 win. The Nationals now sit at 15–12 over their last 27 games—marking their first winning month since the 2021 rebuild began. With power, speed, and timely pitching all clicking, this young Nats squad is building momentum and confidence, showing that the rebuild may be turning a corner.
