The Nationals win their fifth straight series at home since the all-star break and, at 55-67, have matched their win total from 2022 — with 40 games to play.
As afternoon gave way to Thursday evening, after Chris Sale walked back-to-back batters, induced a flyout and exited to a standing ovation from the visiting fans, the Washington Nationals scored eight runs between the fifth and sixth, each of them needed to hold off the Boston Red Sox and win another series.
To lose 100 games again, the Nationals would have to finish 7-33 or worse. It’s very hard to see that happening, especially with how well they’ve played since the middle of July, winning six of their last eight series. In that span, CJ Abrams and Keibert Ruiz, two keys of the emerging core, have often led the way.Since moving to the leadoff spot six weeks ago, Abrams, 22, has a .789 OPS and 22 steals.
Meneses logged five RBI. Garrett collected three. And as it turned out, the Nationals used every bit of the offense to edge a team in the American League wild-card race.
