Nationals Secure Wins Over Marlins and Braves

The Washington Nationals secured a 4-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Saturday, powered by solo home runs from Jose Tena, Joey Gallo, and Juan Yepez. Patrick Corbin pitched six strong innings, allowing only one run and three hits while striking out six. Meanwhile, Jake Irvin led the Nationals to a 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, holding them hitless for 5⅔ innings and finishing with one run allowed on two hits. CJ Abrams hit his 20th home run of the season, joining an elite group of Nationals players with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a season. The Braves fell one game behind the Mets in the NL wild card race following their loss. Washington's bullpen was effective in both games, with Kyle Finnegan earning his 38th save on Saturday and strong relief performances on Wednesday.
