Nationals Beat Yankees 4-2 Behind Corbin's Strong Start

Patrick Corbin delivered an impressive performance, pitching six scoreless innings as the Washington Nationals defeated the New York Yankees 4-2. The Nationals benefited from back-to-back home runs by rookies Andrés Chaparro and José Tena in the fourth inning, while Dylan Crews recorded his first two major league hits, including a double. Yankees starter Gerrit Cole struggled, allowing three runs over five innings, and the Yankees' attempts to rally fell short despite a late-game run. Aaron Judge contributed with a double but hit into a crucial double play during a bases-loaded situation, limiting New York's scoring chances. Corbin's success on the mound marked a significant contrast to his recent struggles, as he earned his first back-to-back wins of the season. The game highlighted the Nationals' youthful roster outpacing the Yankees' experienced lineup.
