GUTSY: Washington Nationals’ Foster Griffin DENIES the Hook, James Wood Continues SLUGGING

Washington Nationals rout Atlanta Braves as Foster Griffin refuses the hook and stakes his claim as a guy! Can Griffin’s grit and James Wood’s power help the Nationals turn a corner against NL East heavyweights? Ryan Clary breaks down Washington’s 11-4 victory, spotlighting Griffin’s Max Scherzer-esque refusal to leave the mound, Wood’s league-leading opposite-field home run power, and a lineup that set a new mark with 12 walks. Key storylines include the evolving first base position between Luis Garcia Jr. and Curtis Mead, concerns over Dylan Crews and Harry Ford’s slow AAA starts, and whether the Nationals’ newfound aggression on the bases signals a turning point. Previewing the Nationals vs. Braves Game 3, Ryan Clary weighs the pitching matchup between Zach Littell and Martin Perez.
