Luis García powers Nationals past Orioles with two home runs

Summary

Luis García Jr. hit two home runs and drove in five runs, leading the Washington Nationals to a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The Nationals surged with three runs in the third inning after a series of walks and errors. García's two-run shot in the fifth extended the lead, followed by a solo homer in the seventh. Despite two-run homers from Pete Alonso and Jackson Holliday for the Orioles, a strong performance from the Nationals' bullpen, including PJ Poulin’s hitless two innings, secured the win. The Nationals next face the Boston Red Sox, while the Orioles prepare to host the Chicago White Sox.
