Game storylines and notes

The Washington Nationals kick off a quick two-game series against the Miami Marlins, tonight.

Last game out.

Over the weekend, the Washington Nationals got swept by the Chicago Cubs, which wasn't pretty. However, there were a few highlights, including Darren Baker's first hit in the Major Leagues during his first at-bat and off his first pitch. His father, former Washington Nationals coach Dusty Baker, attended Nationals Park to witness the hit.

It's for the kids

With the debuts of Darren Baker and Zach Brzykcy on Sunday, the Nationals have now utilized 15 rookies this season. This matches the third-highest number of rookies they’ve used in a season since 2005, trailing only 2021 (17) and 2006 (18).
