Game Summary
Washington Nationals defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 5-3. Washington seized control early when Daylen Lile launched a three-run homer in the first and later extended the lead on Harry Ford's two-run shot in the fourth — the latter proved the decisive scoring play. Cade Cavalli earned the win, working six innings and allowing three runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts, and Clayton Beeter closed with a scoreless ninth for the save. Lile finished 2-for-4 with a homer, double and three RBIs, while Ford added a homer and two RBIs. Cincinnati produced three solo homers from Eugenio Suárez, Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz to tie the game in the third but could not overcome Washington's early surge.
