Game Summary
Washington Nationals defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-2. Washington seized control with a three-run sixth — CJ Abrams’ RBI single followed by Yohandy Morales’ two-run homer — and added an insurance run in the seventh. Detroit’s failure to capitalize on chances (21 left on base) amplified the impact of that rally. Ben Malgeri produced Detroit’s lone long ball and later added a ninth-inning RBI single, while Kevin McGonigle went 3-for-5. Framber Valdez worked 5.1 innings with six strikeouts but absorbed the loss. Will Dion was credited with the win, Brad Lord delivered 3.1 scoreless relief, and Yovanny Cruz closed with a one-run save.
