Nationals vs. D-backs Game Highlights (5/31/25) | MLB Highlights

They lost eight of nine going into this pivotal second game of this three game set and they’re looking for brandon fought to hopefully get this turnaround started. Now, the seven victories for brandon fought tied for the most in the major league so far this season, you see the rest of his numbers there, 62 and a third innings pitch. Only 15 walks to go along with 49 strikeouts, the two runs inside and that one bounces away. Abrams got hit by the pitch and a ball drive to right. It’s going to fall by the right fielder. CJ reads, it picked up on a hop by Carroll James Wood. Now 12 of 13 games with 17 hits now two on, well, suddenly Nathaniel Lowe is an on base machine and it goes the other way with a ball hit with authority. Abrams will score easily. Here comes wood around third. He will be held by Ricky Gutierrez. Here come your nets against swinging the bats on this road trip. Big inning possible. Here’s garcia swinging a line drive right center field. Carroll coming in. He slides, he can’t get it. It’s by him all the way to the fence. This will clear the bases. Wood Trouts home from third Lowe around third. He’s coasting home. He scores and contented second with a double and two runs batted in is Luis Garc-a Junior who hit a laser beam to right center. It’s now the nationals three and the diamond back another hit batter this inning. I don’t care what his groundball rate is in the month of May needs to find a way to get Hassell to put it on the ground. And this ball to center that will fall in front of Carroll and now the bases are loaded with nobody out. Here’s K bar in the number seven spot. He swung on line drive left center field long run for Thomas way back. He can’t get there. It’s one hop to the fence. Garcia scores from Bell around third coming home. Hassell around third held up by Ricky Gutierrez and in the second with a booming double to left center field is there’s Jose in the number eight spot and this little guy on base now a career tying 12 games in a row and there’s a base hit that will bring in two more Tana pulling it. Little guy digging for another double. It will be his 11th of the year and the Nats are swinging the brilliantly here and it is an unhappy desert crowd tonight make it stop. Not often does a big league starter go into a game and come out with no outs recorded, but for the first time in his career , that’s exactly what brandon Fought has done here tonight. And mcgough, who has been a bit of a reclamation project over the last year and a half has had some better result here in 2025. Now he’s going to get an opportunity to try and take a huge bite out of this game. And Lyle drilling one deep to center just below that 20 ft yellow line. That’s a home run anywhere in baseball except here. And now the Nats have eight runners touching home plate. Oh my goodness, hit by a pitch for the second time this inning. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything quite like this in my time in baseball and now without an out registered James Wood is the, the 11th nationals hitter up the middle off the mound base hit. Here comes Lyle nine and the amazing Nats keep on hacking and mercifully the first out of the inning. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny. Luis Garc-a next. He wants to chase that runner home from third. Now that there’s one out garcia , they should turn two but they don’t. Luis Garc-a is going to beat it out and another run will score. Nats have 10 and now they’re going, that’s six batters. Now that would, has faced, this will be his seventh batter off the pitcher’s hand, that’s a base hit that would have gone right to perdomo the shortstop, there’s Suarez and finally, there’s the end of the top of the first inning for Michael Soroka. What is number one, fill up that strike zone? Make them swing the bat tonight. Six start form, left side, way off the line. Jose, that’s what you want from Michael Soroka. He gets 10 and Then he gets them. 123 is going to bring out to LA. He’s got to make a move here have used two pitchers. They have not found a particularly effective one as of yet a scoreless inning last night for Jeff Brigham in his diamondback debut yesterday here he is low stakes situation. This one will fall into left. Jose had to wait. Dana will stop at third. Everything that hitting finding holes and now they one batter into the third time on the lineup. Lowe one for two with an RB I single swinging a ground ball wide to first fielded by smith. He looked at second in time for the out as jose Ta comes in to score. Nathaniel Lowe will get an RB I second of the game and 39th of the year. It’s now the nationals 11 and the Diamondbacks, the first hit for the Diamondbacks bleeder in the right there. A baserunners Naylor. Now there’s the blue. How about a blast? There’s a high drive out to right feet going back and he is out of room first. The hit by Perdomo. Now the runs for the D backs Naylor seventh. That one scraped the rafters. He hit that ball a mile high to right field gets one through, he rolls it through the left side. The third baseman shortstop, there’s a rocket in his center and get a dig for third on the corners. Now for Carroll, he brings it around but it just stayed out. Bases loaded. Two outs for Marte swinging the ball right side. Lowe has it. Soroka will cover the underhand toss is perfect and that will do it with the Diamondbacks in the bottom of the fifth inning. The wind up and the 32 pitch and a ball ripped into right another hit for Naylor. He’ll roll toward the corner, he’ll get at least two playing. The ricochet is Lyle who will get it back in. Andy’s got his second hit. Little flare. This could be trouble falling down for a hit. Taylor is going to move up to third and a fortuitous break for Suarez put him on the corners. Pavin Smith, Michael Soroka got a 10 run lead in the first. He goes on to get 16 outs. Here’s Jackson Rutledge against Pavin smith. It’s his first career appearance for the tall right hander against the Arizona Ball club that’s going to stay fair ball down the line to the corner and having a hard time with it is Lyle, they’re going to send Suarez. The throw to the plate is late and two are in Pavin at third and the deficit down to seven Pavin. Now at third run, the D backs got to have, they basically got to cash in on every run scoring opportunity between now and the end up the middle Abrams in the heel to first nice play just to get to it, but can’t get anything on the throw and Gabby legs. It out for RB. I Infield hit have been on the wrong side of history when it comes to having big leads disappear late and they’re trying to return to Washington. A drive to left down the line. Get out of here. The bullpen two run homers 11 to 7 different baseball game right now. The tying run is Thomas on deck again. You don’t need to get it all back in the eighth inning. But if you keep turning up the heat, you just going to create more run scoring opportunities and a breaking ball that was hanging one hopper out to wood. They’re going to send the runner comes through the plate if holds on and he does it look like James Wood, no chance to throw him out. And the ball kept skipping right to the plate. So the dime backs had a chance at it and had a runner thrown out of the plate. Walk hit two men left Cole Henry too. I mean another chance little up down last time against Seattle came on, finished the inning, came back out and have a chance. Get through this insane ball game using only three relievers. Did he go? He did. And this game is over a 123, no suspense. Ninth inning for Cole Henry, not a save Franny, but walking off with handshakes. He’ll remember this for quite some time.
