The Washington Nationals snapped a three-game offensive slump with a solid 12-6 win over the New York Mets on Monday night. Their bats finally heated up in a game full of late drama and comebacks. It was an open day for the bullpen, with eight pitchers taking the mound. Zach Pinrod started and gave up two earned runs in the first inning, while relievers like Sino Perez and others combined for key strikeouts. Things got shaky in the eighth when Jackson Rutledge allowed a late tie. James Woods stood out as the big story, entering with just a 74 average, but finishing three for five, including a solo home run. His hits helped spark early runs instead of the final rally. The games stayed close through wild swings, with the Mets grabbing leads on doubles and homers. But the Nationals pulled ahead for good in the ninth, on doubles, wild pitches, and singles from guys like Joy Wimmer and V&L Pena, adding, insurance runs to seal it.
