Overview

  • Washington opened the series with a 9-0 shutout on May 29 as Trevor Williams tossed six scoreless innings and the lineup launched four home runs.
  • Robert Hassell III recorded his first major league homer in the eighth inning and finished with three hits and two RBIs in the rout.
  • James Wood belted his second tape-measure shot in as many nights, a 435-foot blast that highlighted his growing power streak.
  • The Nationals carried momentum into May 30 with a 9-3 victory, again paced by Hassell’s breakthrough homer and Wood’s hot bat.
  • Wood and Hassell III, acquired in the 2022 Juan Soto trade, have emerged as foundational pieces in Washington’s rebuilding efforts.
