McMahon's batting average of .400 in one of the previous games underscores his ability to connect with the ball effectively. His overall performance, including a home run and an OPS of 1.75 across three games, highlights his critical role in the Rockies' lineup. His fielding percentage standing at a flawless 1.0 further cements his status as a dual-threat on the field.


On the other side, Drew Millas of the Nationals has not gone unnoticed. With an impressive .750 batting average in one game and maintaining an OPS of 2.55 over three games, Millas' prowess behind the plate and on-base skills pose a significant challenge for the Rockies' pitchers.

His infield counterpart on the Nationals, CJ Abrams, mirrors this impact with a .600 average in one game and an OPS of 1.667, showcasing the depth of talent both teams possess.

Conversely, Robert Garcia from the Nationals also boasts an ERA of 0.0 with twenty-seven strikeouts per nine innings in one game, highlighting his capability to dominate opposing batters.
