Nationals End MLB's Worst June With Extras Win Over Angels

News summary

The Washington Nationals ended a difficult June with a 7-4 extra-innings victory over the Los Angeles Angels, securing their first series win of the month amid a 7-19 record that marked the worst in MLB for June. The game featured Drew Millas, who delivered the game-winning RBI single in the 11th inning, and James Wood, who was intentionally walked four times, a rare feat last achieved by Barry Bonds in 2004. Despite the win, the Nationals struggled throughout June with poor offense, bullpen meltdowns, and defensive issues, including one of the worst middle infields in baseball by Outs Above Average (OAA) metrics. Manager Dave Martinez was ejected during the game after disputing a call, reflecting the tension around the team's performance. The victory provided a morale boost after a taxing nine-game road trip and came at a critical time as the team looks to improve following a historically bad month. Players like Kyle Finnegan and CJ Abrams showed bright spots, but the Nationals must address pitching and defense to rebound effectively.
