## Resource

The Washington Nationals are on fire, ending a 16-day stretch with a 10-6 record to push their season total to 29-28 — their first time above .500 since July 2021. Led by a dominant offense that tops MLB in runs, doubles, and extra-base hits, they’re riding high on James Wood’s 15 homers and NL-leading walks. Manager Blake Butera and players like CJ Abrams are buzzing with confidence, believing this surge is sustainable. Even their pitching has stepped up, limiting earned runs against tough road foes like the Braves and Guardians. Despite a nail-biting loss, the team’s momentum and belief in their future success are undeniable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
