## Resource

Three Nationals stars—Keibert Ruiz, Stone Wood, and CJ Abrams—earned MLB Team of the Month honors for their explosive May performances, powering the team back above .500 with homers, RBIs, and clutch hits. Ruiz crushed it with a five-RBI game, Wood led the team in homers and RBIs while flirting with league power rankings, and Abrams delivered consistent multi-hit games. But recent struggles have derailed their momentum—each struggled in their last series, hitting rough patches and striking out more. Now, with a six-game road trip starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, the trio must rediscover their May magic to reignite the Nationals’ winning streak.
