Nationals Win Thriller, 5-4
The inspired effort of New York third baseman Alex Freeland was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-4, to the Washington Nationals. Freeland was 2-3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Washington reliever Griffin Jax was the winner. His record is now 9-4. Blake Treinen took the loss. With the win over New York, the Nationals improved to 61-65.

The Nationals got a clutch hit from first baseman Jonathan Aranda. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Nationals.

"This game was intense," Aranda said, postgame.
