Nationals vs Angels Game Highlights (6/27/25) | MLB Highlights
The night starts with some rough news regarding Angel manager, Ron Washington. The Angels manager will not be with the team the rest of the season. He’s gonna remain on medical leave. Ray Montgomery goes from acting manager to interim manager while we’re excited about baseball on this Friday night. I think everybody has Ron Washington at the front of their minds. We’ve got a pretty resilient group, you know, and I think that’s a credit to wash, you know, I think we’re starting to see the personality of the team take the personality of him and there’s some resiliency, there’s some toughness and that’s exactly what Ron is. You know, he’s as resilient and tough as anybody I’ve ever met. They’re professionals and they’re gonna go out there and they’re gonna play as hard as they played for Ron day in and day out last three outings for Soriano 22 3rd innings with just two earned runs allowed. So he enters tonight with an earned run average of 0.89 in his last three starts. He swings at this one and chops it right to short right where Newman was positioned and his is in plenty of time to get the speedy CJ Abrams one away. James Wood who’s having a big season for the Nationals. He will be the next batter. The first five batters will be swinging from the left hand side. There is a strike out. There’s two down as wood chases that slider. A second baseman pitch chopped on the right side. That one’s gloved there by christian Moore. His throw is in plenty of time. It’s a quick clean inning for Soriano. We go to the bottom of the first inning, 28 year old right hander jake Ervin to the mound. The 6 ft seven inch native of Minneapolis, Minnesota makes his 17th start with a six and three record one out and one on Mike Trout stands in waits a 32 from I did he go? He did. Marley says Trout went too far to back strikeouts. Now after that leadoff walk, Taylor Ward will be the batter in the bottom of the first inning. He’s off on the 32 here as this one hit out to center Jacob Young back onto the track at the wall. He’s got it. Jacob Young Robs, another Jacob Young does it again going back with an elite play by an elite center field. Nathaniel Lowe will lead off the second of the nationals. So we’re going to chopper over the mound charging in is the shortstop Newman throwing on the run out is the call at first by Nick Barley, the first base umpire, we’ll see if the Nationals look to check a replay. Looks like Lowe beat that play after the call on the field is overturned. The runner is safe. Retain their. So the nationals have an infield hit from Lowe brings up josh Bell. Josh Bell flies one out to deep left center. This ball is back, this balls out of here. Second home run on the road trip for JB is 11th of the season and only the fourth home run surrendered by Jose Soriano all season a two run shot to put the nats up two nothing Joe Adell 10 homers in the month of June 17 on the season. That was out to right field. It is hit, well, it’s up in the air back to the track leaping and that one is gone. Joe Adell does it again. He’s got 11 homers in the month of J, 12 of his last 23 hits have been homers cuts the lead in half. It’s 21 Washington. It’s been a long time coming for at this level to get this level of consistency at the play. Abrams tags at second goes to third wood will hold out at first. Here’s Nathaniel Lowe. Here’s the next pitch. This is a ground ball hit out near second, stopped on the outfield grass there by the shortstop Newman. He will end up throwing out Lowe and they will end up leaving couple runners on base. Jake Kerin facing the top of the order. Luis Rengifo, there’s a ball bounced on a hop over to first base and that one skips off the glove of Lowe ball. Karen’s in the right diving into second and safe. There is. And that’s, you know, we talk about the way this team plays the Washington baseball, that’s aggressive baserunning runner in scoring position. Now, nobody out 21 game, 31 ribbies for Nolan Shana on the season last 10, very least need a productive out here and hopefully a base hit or more. 21 is to right field. That is going what he’s got the for the halos take the lead fourth homer for Shana. Well, in his last 11 ball games right here at the halfway point , looking to go over 500. That is a big swing from 20th home run of the season for the Halos to the ring of fire. There it is that Trout is on still no one out in this inning. Taylor Ward will be the next batter.
