Nats Triumphantly Draw 6 Walks in the 1st

35 minutes Posted Jul 29, 2026 at 6:26 am.

) Luis Garcia Jr. slugged his 22nd homer of the season off of a lefty. Garcia Jr. is a Free Agent after the 2027 season and therefore he is very much a candidate to be dealt away before this Trade Deadline.

) Dylan Crews followed up Garcia's blast with his own in order to go Back-to-Back in the 4th. Crews has been playing better lately and his OPS is currently at .706.

) Cade Cavalli lasted six innings and earned the win despite not having his "Best stuff" according to Blake Butera. Cavalli is in the midst of a hot stretch and his ERA is down to 3.55 for the season. Is Cavalli the team's Ace or is it Foster Griffin?

) Trevor Williams is taking Gus Varland's roster spot and is expected to join the bullpen. Williams hasn't pitched in the majors in over a year as he has been recovering from internal brace surgery.

) Arizona outlasted Pittsburgh on Tuesday night to move one game ahead of both the Nats & Pirates. Zack Littell will take the mound on Wednesday as Washington is two games above .500.
