CJ Abrams' 11th-Inning Triple Secures Nationals' First Anaheim Series Win Since 2005

CJ Abrams played a pivotal role in the Washington Nationals' 7-4 extra-innings victory over the Los Angeles Angels, delivering a two-run triple that capped a three-run 11th inning. This hit secured the Nationals' first series win in Anaheim since 2005, marking a significant achievement for the team since relocating from Montreal. Meanwhile, James Wood made history by becoming the sixth MLB player to be intentionally walked four times in a single game, a feat last matched by Barry Bonds. The Nationals rallied from behind, tying the game multiple times before Abrams' decisive triple. Washington's closer Kyle Finnegan secured the win with three hitless innings, while the Angels' closer Kenley Jansen suffered his first blown save in 16 opportunities. The game featured strong offensive contributions from several Nationals players, including Daylen Lile, Drew Miles, and Brady House, who all played crucial roles in the comeback.
