Overview

• Nasim Nuñez singled to start the seventh-inning push, Jacob Young tied it with a homer, and James Wood followed with a 419-foot shot for his 31st.
• Wood finished with three hits, including an eighth-inning RBI single, and his two strikeouts raised his league-leading total to 218.
• Julian Fernandez earned his first major league win with a scoreless inning, and Jose A. Ferrer logged his 11th save by striking out Chase Meidroth with the tying run on third.
• Daylen Lile and Young went deep for Washington, while Colson Montgomery and Brooks Baldwin hit two-run homers for Chicago as Montgomery extended his hitting streak to a career-best nine games.
• A successful challenge erased Meidroth’s initial eighth-inning double call, and the victory followed a stretch in which the Nationals had dropped eight of 11.
