Summary
The Nationals’ road series slide ended in heartbreak after one pitch — a hanging slider that became a two-run homer, handing the Rays the win and snapping their streak of six straight road series victories. Manager Blake Butera reminded the team that close games against quality opponents are where growth happens, and this young squad is learning fast. Now back home, they face the division-leading Phillies — the kind of pressure Butera craves. Despite the sting, the focus is already on bouncing back and proving they belong at this level.
