Game Summary
Washington Nationals defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-0. Washington's offense collected 10 hits and produced a decisive five-run fifth inning, highlighted by Abimelec Ortiz's three-run homer; Dylan Crews doubled and drove in a run while Daylen Lile had two hits and an RBI. The 5th inning — after an earlier sac fly — broke the game open and put the Cubs in a hole they could not climb out of. Cade Cavalli dominated for the Nationals, tossing eight scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out 10. Chicago starter Kevin Gausman was charged with six runs over 4.2 innings, and Washington added an insurance run in the eighth on Jorbit Vivas's RBI single.
