## Resource

Zack Littell’s rough night—eight runs in six innings in a 15-1 loss—came after a 23-4 win, highlighting the wild swings of his recent form. Frustrated but resilient, he blamed the team’s collective effort, not the ballpark, stressing that avoiding hard contact is key. Despite the loss, his innings preserved the bullpen, and the Nationals may consider using an opener next time to protect him, depending on matchups and bullpen health.
