Nationals Explode for Opening Day Win

The Washington Nationals opened the 2026 season with a historic 10-run win at Wrigley Field, marking their highest scoring opening day and their first victory there since 2021. The team, now above .500 since May 2024, saw Blake Butera, the youngest manager in baseball since 1972, lead them to victory in his debut. The offense, boosted by three home runs and clutch hits, set the tone with surprising lineup choices. The Nationals look to maintain this momentum as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers in their home opener on April 3rd.
