Nationals Secure Series Win Over Dodgers with James Wood's Heroics
Washington claims its first home series victory against Los Angeles since 2014, powered by Wood's standout performances and Dodgers' continued struggles.
- The Nationals defeated the Dodgers 8-2 on Tuesday, marking their fourth consecutive win and clinching the series with one game remaining.
- James Wood delivered a career-high five RBIs, including two home runs, following his pivotal two-run homer in Monday's 6-4 victory.
- Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani fell a double short of the cycle in Monday's loss but was limited to a single in Tuesday's game as the team continued to struggle offensively.
- Defensive errors and bullpen inefficiencies have plagued the Dodgers, who have now lost four of their last five games after an 8-0 season start.
- The Nationals also used social media to criticize perceived bias in MLB's coverage, contrasting the praise for Ohtani with the recognition of their own players' contributions.
