## Resource

The Washington Nationals are defying all odds this season, thanks to two unsung heroes: Foster Griffin and Luis Garcia Jr. Griffin, fresh off a Japan stint, is a masterful pitcher with a seven-pitch arsenal, posting a 2.87 ERA and 100 strikeouts in over 100 innings while dominating with efficiency. Garcia, meanwhile, is on fire, slashing a 1.394 OPS over his last 15 games with 9 homers, carrying the offense through slumps and now boasting 18 homers and 62 RBIs. Despite not making the All-Star team—due to timing and NL pitching depth—both players are rewriting their narratives and leading the Nationals on an improbable charge.
