On the other side, the Nationals have their own set of aces, with standout performances from players like Jacob Young, an outfielder who hit .500 with 1 home run and 1 RBI in a recent game. His ability to connect with the ball has been a crucial factor for the Nationals' offense, providing them with much-needed momentum heading into this game.


However, it's not just about individual brilliance. The Giants have seen significant contributions across their lineup.
