The Washington Nationals defeat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 after scoring three runs in the eighth inning. Jorbit Vivas delivers a tiebreaking two-run double during the inning, turning a close game into a late lead for Washington.
The reports describe how the Angels hold a 2-1 advantage earlier in the game before Washington responds. Pinch-hitter Andrew Pinckney ties the score in the eighth with a sacrifice fly off Samy Natera Jr., forcing the game into a rally that Washington finishes with the go-ahead hits from Vivas.
Both outlets attribute the key swing to Washington’s multi-run eighth inning and credit Vivas’ two-run double as the decisive moment. The result ends the Nationals’ seven-game losing streak, while the Angels ultimately fall short despite leading earlier.
