DeJong Cracks 3 HRs for Washington Sunday, April 27th , 2025 At Nationals Park, Paul DeJong hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the New York Mets as the Washington Nationals went down to defeat, 9-8. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Washington shortstop said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," DeJong told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Paul DeJong hit a solo-shot off Luis Gil in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Luis Gil in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Kenley Jansen in the 9th. DeJong is batting .272 with 8 home runs and 19 RBIs this season. |
