By the third inning, New York had extended their lead significantly.

Brett Baty and Francisco Lindor were instrumental during this period, each contributing crucial hits that kept momentum firmly on their side.

Fifth Inning

Innings continued without much change until the fifth when Pete Alonso stepped up with another key performance for his team. His efforts helped add another run for New York through precise batting and smart play execution which further widened their lead against Washington’s struggling pitchers.
