The Washington Nationals faced off against the Colorado Rockies in a night game at Nationals Park, where the Nats fell short with a 3-1 score. This result brought the Nationals to a 30-44 record for the season, while the Rockies improved to 17-57.

First Inning

The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The first inning saw no runs scored by either side, as both pitchers managed to keep hitters in check. The Nats were unable to get any hits, while the Rox managed just one hit.

Third Inning

By the third inning, both teams had started finding some momentum at bat. The Expos recorded three hits but failed to convert them into runs due to strong defensive plays by Colorado. Meanwhile, the Blake Street Bombers also tallied three hits but remained scoreless.

Sixth Inning

The sixth inning marked a turning point for Colorado when they finally broke through with their first run of the game. A combination of strategic hitting and effective base running allowed them to take a slim lead over Washington.

Seventh Inning

Washington's offense came alive in the seventh inning as they scored their only run of the game thanks to James Wood’s contribution with an RBI single. Despite this effort, it was not enough for them to gain control over Colorado’s pitching staff who maintained composure throughout.

Eighth and Ninth Innings

In subsequent innings, particularly during eighth and ninth frames, Colorado extended their lead by adding two more runs on board through consistent batting performances from key players like Ryan McMahon who contributed significantly towards securing victory for his team.
