Nationals Rally Late to Nip Orioles
Though he had a stellar game, Shohei Ohtani could not prevent his team, the Baltimore Orioles, from losing, 2-1, to the Washington Nationals. Ohtani threw 5.0 innings of shutout ball. Washington pitcher Michel Otanez earned the win, hiking his record to 2-0. Josh Sborz suffered the loss. Griffin Jax closed it out for his 10th save.

Wilyer Abreu came through with a big-time hit for Washington. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Baltimore skipper Doc D.

Washington is now 22-25. Baltimore is 20-25.
