It's April 19th, welcome to Washington Nationals News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad.

I'm Cory with the story.

Washington Nationals blew another big lead at home, dropping a heartbreaker 7-6-12 innings

against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.

Cade Cavali came out firing, striking out 5-4 innings while allowing just one earned run,

but the bullpen crumbled again with Mitchell.

Parker giving up three key runs to spark the Giants comeback from a 5-1 deficit.

James Wood kept mashing, crushing his team leading 7th homer of the season right out the gate,

a 406-foot bomb, and he added another.

Run later to help build that early edge before things unraveled.

The Nats clawed back to tied in the 9th on Brady House's clutch single-scoring wood,

but they stranded chances in the 10th and 11th, and the Giants plated the winner in the top of the 12th.

Now sitting at 9-12 overall, Washington wraps the series Sunday with Miles Michaelas on the mound,

hoping to avoid the sweep and get back on.
