Nationals roll to 13-3 victory and extend Rockies’ losing streak to season-high 7 games
On Monday night, the Washington Nationals thrashed the Colorado Rockies 13-3, extending the Rockies' losing streak to a season-high seven games. The victory was driven by a five-run fifth inning and a strong performance from Cade Cavalli.
CJ Abrams played a pivotal role, delivering the decisive RBI in the crucial inning. He also stole a base and scored on Abimelec Ortiz's grounder, further bolstering Washington's lead. Daylen Lile was another key contributor, with a pair of doubles and five RBIs, including a three-run homer in the eighth inning.
Willi Castro and Ezequiel Tovar led the Rockies with two home runs each. However, their efforts were not enough to overcome the Nationals' offensive firepower. Cavalli, who had started seven consecutive clean games, allowed two runs over six innings, but the damage was already done. The Nationals' designated hitter, Abrams, returned from a sprained ankle and went 1 for 4 with two stolen bases.
The win also marked Cavalli's fourth straight victory, extending his streak to 12 wins overall. With the loss, Colorado found itself on the brink of a longer losing streak, with a pattern of poor performance emerging.
