The Washington Nationals dealt the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-3 loss at Nationals Park. Christian Walker, who finished 4th in the AL in doubles with 41 in 2019, was the star on offense. He went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He scored 2 runs. Steve Moss got the win, improving to 11-9. He worked 5.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. Today's win puts Washington at 80-69, while Pittsburgh falls to 70-78.

Miguel Sano, who finished 4th in the NL in home runs with 31 in 2023, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, the Washington third baseman hit a run-scoring single. That put the Nationals in front, 4-3.

Washington manager Mark Grudzielanek praised his team's "businesslike approach."
