The Rockies let the dogs out, defeat the Nationals, 3-1

At Nationals Park in Washington, DC on August 25, 2026, the Colorado Rockies faced off against the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of a four-game series. Fans brought their furry friends to the game, celebrating the Nats mascot Natty. The Rockies' Hunter Goodman rejoined the lineup after being off the injured list due to a shoulder issue, and he delivered a home run in the fourth inning, marking his seventh home run in 13 games against the Nationals.

The Rockies offense continued to perform well, with TJ Rumfield and Willi Castro contributing runs, leading to a 3-1 win for the Rockies. Manager Warren Schaeffer was pleased to have Goodman back in the lineup, highlighting his contributions on both sides of the plate. The Nationals' Mason Adams made his MLB debut, showing promise with a solid first inning, but struggled to get the third strike in the second inning, allowing three runs on five hits over 4.2 innings pitched.

The Rockies' offense maintained their lead throughout the game, with a walk-off win secured by Hunter Goodman's home run and a pinch hitter's flyout.
