Tigers vs. Nationals Highlights (7/3/25) | MLB Highlights

Here we go. The holiday is upon us. Tigers in town. Tigers best record in the American League and they got some allstars in the lineup. This will be the third consecutive year. Jake gets a start against Detroit. Yeah. And his 18th start of the season. He’s six and three. He’s been helped out by quite a few runs and that’s a good thing.
Colt Keith ready to lead it off for the Tigers. 3-2 pitch from Irvin. And that’s going to be down and in for a lead off ball. That brings in Glaver Torres. Right-handed hitter, open stance. Torres waits on a 2- 0. Here it is. Swing a line drive, base hit pass the lunging third baseman House. Keith will move to second and hold there as Wood plays it in. So a walk and a single on a high fast ball. And the Tigers immediately have a threat going against Urban in the top of the first. Batter Wel Perez. One ball, two strikes. Swing and a miss as Jake Irvin goes 77 hook. Riley Green. He is all over the major league and American League leaderboards. 3-2 delivery to Green. swinging a miss. He finally got one by him. Fast ball at the belt at 93. Irvin wins the nine pitch battle with the All-Star Green to get the second out. Trying to avoid damage here in the top of the first. Here’s Spencer Torqulson. Runners go on the way. Spencer Torlson center field. Young is not going to get that one. Torque annihilates a 3-2 pitch. It is 3 nothing Tigers. And he stays behind this. He made sure that he hit it someplace that nobody had a chance of getting it.
Three nothing Tigers to go to the bottom of the first inning. Nationals now get ready to face the 34y old from Frankfurt, Illinois. Back pitching in the major leagues for the first time in four years.
Abs leads off at 287. 12 homers, 31 ribbies. 3-2 pitch. Fast ball inside. It’s a leadoff walk for CJ Abrams. James Wood who brings the lumber to the batter’s box. and Wood will drill one out to right center. That ball’s on the ground in front of Meadows to his left and the Nets are in business. Two on, nobody out. Amed Rosario. Three of his four homers against left-handed pitching. Ends. Checks the runner at second. He throws. Swing a highf fly ball right field. Wel Perez drifting back. Still moving back. He squares up now. Makes the catch. Abrams will tag at second, go to third. Wood will tag at first and hold there. So Rosario moves the runner with a fly ball to medium deep right field. gets the cleanup batter Nathaniel Low. A 3-2 from Ends. Low ball four and they’re loaded up for Alex Call. Alex Call that’s in the air and it’s in left field. Abrams zone. Here comes Wood and a great read by the runner at second and that’s right back at the Tigers now. 3-2 with a two RBI knock. Great jump by James Wood on the back side of this cuz this hard hit easy run scored. Paul to Young now gets the DH. Still two runners on with one out. A three-run bomb for ourselves. That ball’s hit pretty well out to deep right center heading for the scoreboard. CU later and Paul De Young has a three-run blast. The Nets have scored five in the first. Let’s take a look. Get that foot down early. What a swing. And bang go the Nets here with a two-run single and a three-run homer. But a big first inning answer for the Nationals. Tigers had three in the top. Nationals get five in the bottom. Second inning, Nationals lead the Tigers five to three. And one up, one down. James Wood to the plate. Oh, he’s going to lace one to left. Heading for the wall. And it hit the very top. And it might have hit the top and gone into the Flowers. And let’s put it this way. See you later. James Will number 23. And the Nets keep blasting away. What’s your presence in the home run derby? Then go out and hit you one top of the wall. Then he hit the back wall before coming back out. Just we get to witness this every day and he’s only 22. Nationals get a home run. We go to the third. 6-3 Nationals doubling the Tigers. Bottom of the fourth inning. Went up in one down.
Now the top of the order and CJ Abrams who has walked and grounded a second. Officially 0 for one. Two balls, two strikes.
Abrams waits on it and drops it to left. CJ’s third hit of the series and he’s on base for the fifth time.
And he’s aboard for James Wood. Here it goes. Pitch is low. The throw, the slide, and Abrams is safe. See if ends pitches carefully here to Wood.
Now the pitch swung on, line to left center field toward the gap and in for a base hit. So rounding third is Abrams. He’s going to score. Throw to second. Wood trying to slide around the tag of Torres. And he is out at second base.
Right out of the gate. What a job by James Wood just to get it out there. Another two strike knock. Parker Meadows. Good arm out there in center field. He sensed it. I mean that you can see Riley Green pointing as well like 2 two2
84 on the out at second. Mets leaded seven to three. Bottom of the fifth. Dietrich ends against Nathaniel Low.
22 ground ball softly to the turn charging and picking the in between hopper with the back hand. McKinstry throws to first and Cole Keith can’t hang on. Oh my goodness, was that a good play.
Ball was up the first base line towards home plate and in the dirt. Colt Keith made a really nice effort just couldn’t glove it.
Daniel Low at first reached on an E5. Alex Call faces the righty Hannipe. Pitch. Call rolls one softly to short. Bayz can’t pick it up and it’ll be another error on the Tigers. And on backto-back ground balls, the normally sure-handed first place Tigers have committed two errors. Here’s Paul D. Young. Here’s the pitch in the dirt to the back stop. Ball cars right out to the catcher Dingler, but he has no throw as Low will go into third. Standing with call into second. This is a nightmare of an inning for the Tigers. Runners at second and third. Nobody out. Paul Young and McKinstry cuts it off. Runners freeze on the first out. Here’s Brady House. Henipy against righties dominates them. This one well placed up the middle. Brady House is going to drive in a couple. RBI total from five to seven and the Nats lead the Tigers 9 to3. Making the errors hurt big time here in the fifth. A great read by Alex Call. You’ll see him on right in front of you. He’ll stop a little bit because he saw the runner in front of him not going. Don’t want to run into an L right there, but he had the right read initially. Brady House huge knock. The Nats with a little help from the Tigers add two. Nationals nine, Detroit three. We have reached the seventh inning and Cole Henry is on the pitch. The night over for Jake Irving facing the catcher Dingler. Swing and Dingler pops it up. Shallow left center. Jacob Young, James Wood both coming. It’ll be the center fielder Young to make the catch. And there’s one away.
Facing Parker Meadows.
Three and one. And that is looped into left. That’s a base hit for Parker Meadows. Hopefully get something started here. Just start pecking away at this.
Two down, seventh inning. Cold Keith the batter. Here’s a hit into left for Keith. Parker Meadows goes first to third and the Tigers have two on with two out in this seventh inning.
Glber Torres single a walk for Torres.
Glabber Torres could change the timber of this game with one swing. Not that into center field. That’s an RBI single. It’s nine to four. Three times on base for Glabber tonight.
And there is that fast ball. He tried to fast ball. He tried the sweeper. He tried a little bit of everything. And just Glabber Torres being that tough out again. Able to muscle that into center field. But that’s the thing about holding Cole Keith at first base. If he’s able to go into second, make it second and third. That’s why it’s important. And then Glabber gets that. It’s a two-run single rather than just one.
Perez with a chance to deliver a big hit. He’s due. Line drive. Base hit into center over the outstretched glove of Abrams. Keith will round third and score. And the Tigers are back to within four. Three straight two out singles in a 95.
Brad Lord will take over the pitching now as we go to the eighth inning here at Nationals Park as he tries to preserve this lead for Jake Irvin.
Here’s Zack McKinstry. Lord Wines deals and that is inside and it hit him bringing the right-handed hitting catcher Dylan Dingler
way outside. McKinstry to second.
Tigers have a runner at second with one out in a 95 game. Three and two. That is a daring take. It is ball four and the Tigers have two on with just one out in the eighth.
See if Lord can get out of it facing the number eight hitter and maybe the nine hitter Meadows singled last inning. One for three on one and two. Left side that is through. It’s a base hit. Parker Meadows. Tigers start the carousel. It is first and third. McKinstry is home. The tying run will come to the plate here in the eighth. No surrender in these Tigers. Just like the last at bat. Goes with it. doesn’t try to pull it and just hits it right where the shorts stop would be. But they’re positioned to pull the ball and that very aggressive base running by the Tigers. They don’t stop. McKinry scores easily. Avi Bayz tying run at the plate. That is secured on the infield. The throw to first by Abrams is in time. CJ Abrams may have just rescued the lead for Washington. An outstanding effort by that young man.
It’s an RBI. Another run in. It’s 9-7.
James Wood has a four- hit game. He leads off 9-7. Nats lead the Tigers with his fourth career four-h hit game. He has never had a five hit game in the big leagues. Those are pretty rare. 3-2 on the way. Wood hits a line drive right field. It’s down for a base hit. It’s a fivehit game for James Wood. Played back on a bounce by Wel Perez. James Wood first career five hit game. Four singles and a home run. Now a rocket shot into right field. A bullet of a base head. Nationals are going to the bench now for Luis Garcia Jr. way out in front and the wild pitch will get James Wood into scoring position. Garcia could move him with a productive out to the right side at least or drive him in. Garcia that’s pretty productive. James Wood held up for a second. He’s going to be sent. Perez looking for his third outfield assist. No way. And the Nets are into double digits now leading 10 to seven. And now Garcia’s 8 for12 stealing. Here’s Alex Call. Alex Call with another base set. And how about it? The Nets do get that extended warranty. They’ll match the two the Tigers just got. 117 and three driven in by Cole. We head to the ninth. Last shot for the Tigers. 11-7 Washington. Well, the Nationals will go to their closer, Kyle Finnegan, in a non-save situation for the second nine in a row. A four-run lead 11 to7. Nationals try to secure a series win against the team with the best record in the American League. Clayber Torres leads off. First pitch flared out to right center. Here comes Young. Tell him the ninth inning belongs to Kyle and Jacob, right?
Yes, it does.
Here’s Perez, one for four in the air. Playable CJ Abrams. Two outs. And here it comes down to Finnegan and Riley Green. Asking for one more. Kyle swing and a miss. And Kyle Finnean. Another clean. Ninth inning. And the Nationals have the series win 11-7 over the Tigers. Nationals take down the best team in the American League. A 2-1 series win. an 11-7 victory as they’ll set off fireworks following a great Nationals
