Jesse Winker's Grand Slam Fuels Nationals' Dominant Win Over Marlins
Jesse Winker's grand slam, his first since joining the Nationals, played a pivotal role in their 11-4 victory against the Miami Marlins, marking a significant moment in his career resurgence.
- Jesse Winker hit a grand slam in the fifth inning, leading the Washington Nationals to an 11-4 win over the Miami Marlins.
- The grand slam was Winker's first since August 2022 and came during a game where the Nationals scored over 10 runs for the first time this season.
- Mitchell Parker pitched four innings for the Nationals, allowing just one run, supported by strong performances from the bullpen until the ninth inning.
