  1. Dodgers win their first game in those blue heaven uniforms with a football score thanks to the offense waking up finally!

  2. Same approach on offense, this time with more line drives falling instead of fouls.

    All credit to RVS–that’s how this works, amirite?

  3. I’ve been living in the DC area for 17 or so years. I have never seen the Dodgers lose against the Nats in games I go to live.

    Fun fact: I will be there tomorrow and Sunday too.

  4. Roki on the dugout figuring out where the offense was on monday

  6. At lunch, the guy at the table next to me was saying to his dad (who was also a Dodgers fan) that he was hoping the Dodgers wouldn’t use the Nats as batting practice. I chimed in that I did. Looks like I got my wish!

  7. “the hardest working group of Midwestern farmers that we can be. … It’s great to go out there and stick it to the Dodgers” – Miles Mikolas from his yacht in Florida.

  8. It was nice to get a game under our belts where we had consistent hitting through pretty much the entire game. Both power and contact batting, inning in and inning out, getting runners on base so that our power could really show out with multiple 2 and 3 run HRs and our consistency also saw the guys advancing base runners with base hits.

    If we can get to a place where we’re stringing together offensive performances like that, it’s gonna be *very* hard to beat this team consistently. It’ll be interesting to see if it keeps up tomorrow and beyond. Regardless, I’m a happy Dodger fan today and I can’t wait to be able to catch the whole game with some good food and a few beers tomorrow.

    Go Dodgers!

  9. I do not believe that Pitcher Wins are a very revealing statistic as the app says Sheehan gets the win with an 8.00 ERA.

  10. Sho has more dingers in 2026 than the big dumper, manny machado and Fernando tatis jr combined

  11. What a way to debut the new uniforms. The start was a bit rocky, but the offense really came through today. Let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.
