) Dylan Crews homered in the 7th to put Washington ahead 3-1.  Crews was 1 for his last 17 entering that at bat.

) Nasim Nuñez knocked in a pair of runs and stole his 23rd base of the season. Nuñez is tied for the MLB lead along with Jose Ramirez & Bobby Witt Jr.

) Zack Littell had another good outing as his dismal April is becoming more and more of a distant memory. Littell lasted five innings and his ERA has dropped to 4.76. Has he pitched his way into being on the Nationals in 2027?

) Brad Lord tossed the final two innings and is yet another reliever to have notched a Save this season for the Nationals.

) Cole Henry was optioned to AAA after the win.
