Nationals End 11-Game Losing Streak with Walk-Off Win over Rockies

The Washington Nationals snapped an 11-game losing streak with a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies, thanks to James Wood, who hit two two-run homers—including a walk-off shot in the 11th inning. The win, which avoided the franchise's longest losing streak since 2008, came after the Nationals struggled through a challenging homestand and nearly tied their worst single-season skid. Rockies rookie starter Chase Dollander pitched six solid innings, but Washington's offense was led almost single-handedly by Wood, who now has 20 home runs this season. Despite the loss, the Rockies have shown improvement with a recent four-game win streak, accounting for a notable portion of their otherwise difficult season. The Nationals now head to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead the NL West and have performed strongly at home. The season series between the Nationals and Dodgers is currently tied 2-2, with top performers including Shohei Ohtani for Los Angeles and James Wood for Washington.
