Overview

• Brad Lord pitched six innings, allowing one run and four hits to register his first career victory as a starter.
• Carson Whisenhunt yielded three solo home runs over four innings, taking his first major league loss.
• James Wood launched his first homer since July 9 and Paul DeJong and Josh Bell added back-to-back blasts to power Washington’s early lead.
• The Giants loaded the bases twice but went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, extending their struggles in key offensive situations.
• With rotation injuries thinning their staffs, both teams have turned to rookies—Whisenhunt in his third start and Lord in his tenth—to fill gaps.
