CJ Abrams, playing as shortstop, managed to hit a home run with an average of .250 and an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.25. His efforts were a silver lining for the team, demonstrating his potential as a key player in future games.

Josh Bell showed promise with an impressive batting average of .333 and an OPS of .833. Although he didn't manage to secure any RBIs or home runs this game, his on-base percentage (OBP) stood out at .500.

Blue Jays' Tactical Play

On the opposing side, the Toronto Blue Jays capitalized on their hits throughout various innings to build up their lead gradually against the Nationals. Their strategic play was evident in how they distributed their scoring across multiple innings rather than relying on big plays alone.

The pitching staff from both teams had moments worth noting; however, it was Toronto's ability to leverage ten hits into four runs that underscored their efficiency at converting opportunities into scores.
