On March 30th, the Nationals just snagged their first opening series win since 2018, bouncing back from a rough 10-2 loss to smash the Rand. Cubs, 6-3 behind Joy Wemmers, 3-run blast, that early power put them in control, showing real grit compared to last year squad. Wemmers been on fire, leading the majors in FWA are at 0.6 after just 2 games, while others have played 4. The teams heading to Philadelphia, now to face the Phillies, who sit dead last early on after splitting their opener. Those Phills got hot on opening day but dropped the next two, even with Mackenzie Gore's solid 5-1-3 innings for two runs in his Rangers. debut Up top, X-NAT's Tria Turner and Kyle Schwarber hit 154 and Bryce Harper's at 0.91 Monday at 6.40 p.m. Eastern, it's Foster Griffin making his NAT's debut against Tajwan Walker, who's got a 356 career ERA versus Washington. Two days TBD for the NATs versus Andrew Painers, Big League debut, then Wednesday Cade Cavali faces Christopher Sanchez after his strong opening day, shut out.

Taking two of three here against these division rivals packed with former NATs could send a clear signal, this NATs crew under Boutera ain't pushing. Over anymore. From your team, powered by AI, this is Washington Nationals News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
