Dodgers Roll, Nats Struggle in Final Showdown | Washington Nationals News

About this episode

The Dodgers are on fire, riding a five-game win streak against the Nationals since April 2026, and they’re set to close out the series Sunday night with a chance to extend their dominance. Tyler Glasnow’s clutch performance and six different batters driving in runs helped them edge out a 6-5 victory yesterday. At home, LA is rolling at 85-57, while the Nationals continue to struggle away from home, losing 11 of their last 12 games to fall to 67-77. Justin Wrobleski takes the mound for LA, hoping to build on his recent run support, while Andrew Alvarez pitches for Washington, who’s been solid despite the team’s offensive woes. While Nationals’ hitters like Daylen Lile and Brady House are heating up, others like CJ Abrams and Nasim Nuñez are cold. For the Dodgers, Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernández remain consistent, even as Will Smith goes through a slump. With the Dodgers clearly favored, the Nationals are looking to snap their road skid — can they pull off an upset against a team that’s had them beat all season?
