The Washington Nationals defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Wednesday night, with Mitchell Parker allowing one run over seven innings and Luis García Jr. hitting a three-run homer. This win came after the Nationals had lost five of their previous six games. In contrast, the Rockies had won three of their last four games before this loss. The previous night, Austin Gomber pitched seven strong innings, giving up just one run to lead the Rockies to a 3-1 victory over the Nationals. Gomber's performance was highlighted by his effective use of a curveball and backed by rookie Angel Chivilli's first career save. Key players include Joey Gallo, who returned to the Nationals lineup from the injured list, and Nolan Jones, who contributed offensively for the Rockies after his own return from injury.
