About this episode
The Nats secured a 6-3 victory over the White Sox in 10 innings, highlighted by Jake Irvin's nine strikeouts and Nasim Nuñez's four RBIs.
The Nats beat the White Sox 6-3 on Saturday afternoon in 10 innings. Mark (From Chicago) & Al praise Jake Irvin for his nine strikeout effort in almost six innings of work. This was the first scoreless outing for Irvin in 2026 and the most strikeouts he's had since April 20th last year in Colorado. (11:30) Mitchell Parker allowed a pair of runs, but did strikeout three Chicago hitters. Brad Lord took the mound in the 10th to notch the final three outs. (14:30) Nasim Nuñez was the offensive star of the day with four RBIs in the win. Nuñez's big hit came in the 10th to give the Nationals two more insurance runs. (18:00) It seems like ABS has led to more walks across the sport. The Nats drew 10 walks in the victory on Saturday afternoon. (23:10) Foster Griffin will toe the rubber on Sunday in the series finale. Griffin so far has been the team's Ace and this will conclude a stretch of 17 straight days with a game.
