• Umpires immediately ruled Baty out as he rounded second, cementing the unusual play’s on-field impact.
• Young later leaped at the top of the fence in the ninth to take away Francisco Alvarez’s would-be tying home run.
• Washington closed out a 3–2 victory as New York’s slide reached 11 losses in 15 games.
• OutKick reported that the Reds moved into the final NL wild-card position via tiebreaker, with Arizona also within two games of New York.
