CHICAGO, IL- The Washington Nationals defeated the Chicago Cubs in comeback fashion this afternoon in Chicago 6-3. That was the Nationals 23rd comeback win of the season and are now 29-42 on the road and are 9-14-0 in road series this season. The Nationals have one more series against the N.L. Central when the Pittsburg Pirates visit Nationals Park on Friday.

For eight innings, the Nationals struggled to find their rhythm, limited to just three hits and no walks, appearing lifeless at the plate against a sharp Cubs bullpen. But everything changed in the top of the ninth when Robert Hassell III’s leadoff opposite-field home run off Cubs closer Daniel Palencia breathed new life into the team and their chances. That was Hassell’s third home run this season and the last time since August 2 against the Brewers.

That blast set the stage for a dramatic turnaround, as CJ Abrams’ hit and a patient walk by James Wood put runners in scoring position with no outs in the top of the ninth. Then, veteran slugger Josh Bell—pinch hitting for the catcher—delivered the biggest moment of the game, crushing a three-run homer to left-center field that flipped the scoreboard in favor of the Nationals and ignited the visiting dugout. The rally didn’t stop there; Daylen Lile followed with his third triple of the weekend and scored on Brady House’s sacrifice fly, capping a five-run uprising that stunned the home crowd.

On the mound, rookie Andrew Alvarez showed promise despite a few challenges, keeping the Nationals competitive through 4⅔ innings against a formidable Chicago lineup only giving up two earned runs on three hits.

The finishing touch came from reliever Jose A. Ferrer, who confidently closed out the game for his seventh save, sealing a hard-fought and unexpected win that will be remembered as one of the Nationals' season-defining moments. Once again the Nationals bullpen has been quiet impressive. Right-handed pitcher Mason Thompson was credited with the win this afternoon.

The Nationals bullpen has been impressive entering today’s game, posting a 1.23 ERA (4 ER/29.1 IP) with 30 strikeouts and holding opponents to a .113 average (11-for-97) over the last seven contests. During that span, they’ve allowed just one of seven inherited runners to score.

Since August 20, Washington’s relievers lead Major League Baseball with a 1.96 ERA (14 ER/64.1 IP) and a .141 opponents’ batting average. Clayton Beeter has been especially impressive, going nine straight appearances (8.2 IP) without allowing a hit or a run. He’s currently on a 9.0-inning hitless streak — the second-longest active streak in the majors behind Aroldis Chapman’s 13.2 frames. Since August 5, Beeter has also held opponents to a .073 average, the third-lowest mark in MLB among pitchers with at least 10.0 innings.

Andrew Alvarez Final Line: 4.2 IP | 2 R | 3 H | 2 K | 3 BB | 87 P | 49 S | 1.86 ERA

Dylan Lile continued his hot streak at the plate, entering Sunday’s game 11-for-23 (.478) over his last six contests. In that span, he’s tallied a double, three triples, a home run, six RBI, a walk, a stolen base, and six runs scored. He’s delivered five multi-hit efforts during the stretch, including four in a row, while striking out just three times in 24 plate appearances (12.5%).

Since July 21, Lile has been one of the league’s most consistent rookie performers, hitting .331/.370/.528 across 35 games. Over that stretch, he’s notched seven doubles, six triples, two home runs, 20 RBI, six walks, five stolen bases, and 21 runs scored. His production has placed him among the National League’s top rookies, pacing all Major League rookies with seven triples, while ranking second in batting average (.278) and tied for second in slugging percentage (.435) among NL rookies with at least 250 plate appearances.

The Washington Nationals will travel to Miami this afternoon as they will take on the Miami Marlins for a three-game series starting tomorrow night with the first pitch scheduled to be at 6:45 p.m. EDT. The Nationals are 16-22 against the N.L. East. The Nationals probable pitcher will be right-handed pitcher Cade Cavalli (2-1, 4.85 ERA). Cade Cavalli earned the win after striking out six batters and allowing only two earned runs in 5.0 innings of work on Sept. 2 against the Marlins at Nationals Park
