The Washington Nationals finally grabbed their first home win of the 2026 season Monday

night, snapping a 5-game losing streak against.

The St. Louis Cardinals thanks to a huge 6-run 8th inning comeback.

That rally covered up some bullpen issues so the team made quick moves, optioning right-hander

Andre Grinillo to triple A Rochester and recalling.

Packed in Schulte from the same squad, Grinillo struggled big time in relief, walking 2,

giving up 2 hits and 2 runs that put the cards up late and his early season ERA sits

at.

12.46, over just 4.1 innings.

The Nats bullpen is the worst in baseball right now, with a 6.214 ERA, 21 homers allowed

and they hit 100 hits.

Surrender faster than any club, just a week in.

Two pitching coach Simon Matthews Hope Schulte, who posted a 4.38 ERA with Toronto last

year at the joining VIA waivers, can steady.

The ship heading into Tuesday's rematch.
