Luis García Jr. hits two home runs and drives in five runs to lead the Washington Nationals to a 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. García’s performance powers the Nationals after early Orioles offense, including a two-run homer by Pete Alonso and another two-run homer by Jackson Holliday. Washington starter Zack Littell allows two runs and three hits over five innings, and the result hinges on the Nationals’ bullpen holding the lead late in the game. The Orioles’ offense includes Alonso hitting a 437-foot home run in the first inning. Kyle Bradish starts for Baltimore and retires the first eight Washington hitters, before Washington’s lineup begins to produce runs. Despite the Orioles’ late scoring threat, the Nationals maintain control of the game and finish with a 6-4 final score.
