The Washington Nationals have designated outfielder Víctor Robles for assignment to make room for Lane Thomas, who was reinstated from the injured list. Once a top prospect, Robles has struggled with performance and injuries in recent years, leading to this roster move. The Nationals now have a week to trade him or pass him through waivers.
Cincinnati Reds rookie pitcher Lyon Richardson became the first pitcher in the last 50 years to allow home runs on his first two career pitches, as Washington's CJ Abrams and Lane Thomas both hit homers in the game. Richardson recovered from the rough start to pitch two hitless innings, but ultimately gave up four runs in total.
Lane Thomas delivers a go-ahead, two-run double in the 11th inning, helping the Washington Nationals secure a wild 7-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Jordan Weems impressively escapes a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 10th inning, while the Nationals' offense struggles throughout the game. Despite multiple mistakes and a near benches-clearing brawl, the Nationals show resilience and come out victorious in a long and strange night in Seattle.
