Nationals fall to Orioles, marking fourth consecutive loss

The Washington Nationals lost 3-1 to the Baltimore Orioles on June 26, 2026, in the opening game of their road series. The Nationals struggled at the plate, managing just five hits and leaving four runners on base. Andrew Alvarez took the loss despite five strikeouts, while Brad Lord and Zak Kent did not prevent additional runs. After a promising fourth inning that saw a runners-on-base situation, they ultimately could not capitalize on opportunities. The Nationals now hold a record of 41-42 and will attempt to rebound in the second game of the series on June 27, with Foster Griffin slated to start.
