In a high-scoring matchup, the Washington Nationals overcame an early four-run deficit to defeat the San Francisco Giants 11-5, led by rookie James Wood's impressive performance, which included a home run, triple, and four runs scored. Wood's contributions, along with CJ Abrams' three-run homer and Keibert Ruiz's solo shot, highlighted a strong offensive showing from the Nationals, who have now won three of their last four games. Giants pitcher Hayden Birdsong struggled, allowing seven runs in just over two innings, while MacKenzie Gore secured his first win since June despite a shaky outing. The Giants had previously won their last game against the Nationals 7-4, showcasing their own power with multiple home runs. With this win, the Nationals aim to build momentum after ending a five-game losing streak. The Giants are still seeking to improve their record and recover from recent inconsistencies.
