"The Nationals scored zero runs over the first three innings of tonight's game against Minnesota, and in their remaining five offensive frames, scored 15. For those who don't want to do that math, the Nats' offense averaged three runs an inning over innings 4-8."
"Such an offensive outburst was accompanied by a stellar pitching performance, with Miles Mikolas picking up his first win as a Nat, Mitchell Parker retiring all eight batters he faced, and Zak Kent tossing an (almost) perfect ninth inning in his team debut."
"The first Washington hit of the night came in the fourth as James Wood broke up Bailey Ober's no-hitter bid with a line drive single. A few batters later, CJ Abrams struck for the first, but not the last time in this game, and tied it up with an RBI double, scoring Wood."
The Nationals scored zero runs through three innings before erupting for 15 runs over innings 4-8, averaging three runs per inning during that stretch. Miles Mikolas earned his first win as a National while Mitchell Parker retired all eight batters faced and Zak Kent nearly pitched a perfect ninth in his team debut. Minnesota scored first on an RBI single by Matt Wallner in the third inning, then added a solo home run by Wallner in the fifth to briefly take a 2-1 lead. Washington tied the game in the fourth on an RBI double by CJ Abrams, then took control with a two-run homer by Drew Millas in the fifth before extending their lead significantly in subsequent innings.
