Nats Battle Back to Walk it off in the 10th

39 minutes Posted Sep 13, 2026 at 2:28 am.

) Andrew Alvarez struck out eight Angels in seven innings of work; while allowing only one hit. Alvarez seems to be on the path towards locking up a rotation spot for next season. Alvarez is an organizational success story as he was a 12th round pick in the 2021 Draft.

) Brad Lord gave up three runs in his 8th inning appearance and changed the dynamic of Washington's lead as it dwindled to 4-3. Lord's struggles recently has reached the point that his ERA is back above .400.

) Will Dion could not close it out and in turn gave up a pair of Los Angeles runs; which put his team behind 6-5 in the top of the 9th.

) Abimelec Ortiz's 2-run double gave Washington a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the 2nd. Andres Chaparro then pinch hit for Ortiz and tied the game with RBI single in the bottom of the 9th. Is the organization all set for 1B in 2027?

) James Wood is up to 21 steals and CJ Abrams is now one stolen base away from a 30-30 season.

) Keibert Ruiz had a trio of hits and his OPS is up to.... .789!

) Frankie Vernouski, the voice of the Harrisburg Senators, gives an update on Eli Willits and the rest of the AA club.

The Nats blew a late 4-run lead but ultimately emerged victorious on Saturday afternoon over the Angels. Al & Tim examine the 6-5 walk-off victory after Harry Ford's comebacker was not fielded cleanly in the 10th and that brought across CJ Abrams for the winning run.
