Nats drop series with sloppy loss to Cubs (updated)

2 days ago | masnsports.com | Mark Zuckerman

There was, undoubtedly, a healthy amount of bad luck associated with the Nationals’ 7-1 loss to the Cubs tonight. They hit the ball with authority a bunch of times and had little to show for it. But they also hurt their own cause with a number of unforced errors. They ran themselves into multiple outs on the bases. They failed to make several makeable plays in the field. And Jake Irvin couldn’t make a pitch in some key situations where the right-hander needed to be better.
After 10-day layoff, Nats bench plays and delivers in win

It had been 10 days since Amed Rosario, Nasim Nuñez and Alex Call last found themselves in the Nationals’ starting lineup. That’s an eternity for big leaguers who were on the active roster that entire time but were confined to the bench, keeping themselves ready in case the call came but never actually participating (aside from one token inning in the field for Nuñez at the end of a blowout win in Seattle).

The Nationals have won four of their last five series, beating the Orioles, Braves, Mariners and Diamondbacks. And tonight they have an opportunity to win another series if they can topple the Cubs in the rubber game of this three-game set. To do so, they’ll need to overcome the dreaded opener. Yes, Chicago manager Craig Counsell is going new-school with his pitching plan for tonight’s game.
As Young nears return, Nats have decision to make

Jacob Young plays his third rehab game with Double-A Harrisburg tonight, after which the Nationals will decide if he needs more time there or will be activated off the injured list, creating a whole new dilemma in their outfield. Young has been out since crashing into the wall trying to make a catch at Camden Yards on May 17, suffering an AC sprain in his left shoulder on the play. He was deemed ready for a rehab assignment this week and began playing for Harrisburg on Tuesday.
Righties finally return to lineup, plus rehab updates

You’re forgiven if you glanced at tonight’s lineup and didn’t recognize three of the names Davey Martinez penciled in for the second game of the Nationals’ series against the Cubs. Alex Call? Amed Rosario? Nasim Nuñez? They sound vaguely familiar, but it feels like a while since any of them saw the field. Indeed, none of those three players has been in the Nats lineup since May 25, the finale of their last homestand against the Giants, a full 10 days ago.

The opener of the Nationals’ homestand was pretty much a dud. Despite scoring three early runs against the Cubs, they gave them all back – plus five more – en route to an 8-3 loss. So much for positive momentum coming off that winning West Coast trip. But there’s a golden opportunity to get back on track tonight, and that begins with the man on the mound for the home team. MacKenzie Gore is putting together the best first half of a season we’ve seen from any pitcher in a while around here.
Gore dominates again, lineup finally supplies him with win (updated)

The narrative had already been well-established before tonight’s game. MacKenzie Gore had been pitching as well as anybody in the league but had only two wins to show for it because of a lack of run support from his Nationals teammates and a few bullpen mishaps along the way. "I wish we could score more runs for him. I hope today’s the day when we score 8-10," manager Davey Martinez said this afternoon. "But he’s pitched in some really good games and kept us in the game.
With opposite-field approach, García records 500th hit

Luis García Jr. has not had the start to the season he hoped for. Entering last night’s series opener against the Cubs, he was hitting only .247 with a .691 OPS. At the same time last year, those numbers were .264 and .729, respectively. And he finished his breakout 2024 campaign with a .282 average and .762 OPS. Yes, the 25-year-old has been the victim of some bad luck.

The Nationals returned home from the West Coast as one of the hottest teams in baseball. Entering tonight after a 4-2 road trip, their 11-5 record since May 14 was the fourth-best in the major leagues. Their next challenge? The Cubs, who were tied for the best record in the majors over the same stretch at 12-4 and who were singularly the best over a longer stretch at 15-5 in their last 20 games. A great litmus test for this young Nats team that started this homestand only three games below .500.

The Nationals return home after a very successful 4-2 West Coast road trip against two contending teams. The competition doesn’t ease up on South Capitol Street, however, as they face another first-place squad in the Cubs. Craig Counsell’s club has the second-best record in the National League at 37-22, trailing only the Mets by a half-game. They are 14-4 since May 12, the best record in the majors in the span, with the Nats just behind them at 11-7.
