Nationals Halt Losing Streak with 4-3 Win Over Diamondbacks in Tight Series

Washington's early lead and strong pitching performance secure victory, while Arizona's home run streak ends and roster adjusts to Ketel Marte's injury.

Overview

  • The Washington Nationals ended their four-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, fueled by James Wood's two-run double in the first inning.
  • Nationals pitcher Mitchell Parker delivered a standout performance, allowing just one run over six innings to earn his second win of the season.
  • Arizona failed to hit a home run for the first time in 2025, breaking their eight-game streak of homering to start the season, a franchise milestone achieved only four times before.
  • The Diamondbacks adjusted their roster after losing second baseman Ketel Marte to a hamstring injury, calling up Tim Tawa, who made his MLB debut with a single and a run scored.
  • Despite the loss, Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez struck out 12 batters in five innings, his highest total since 2019, showcasing his dominance on the mound.
