The National League’s reigning champions are in the wild-card mix with the overachieving Nationals, but Arizona ended Washington’s three-game winning streak.
Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams drops the ball as the Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll steals second base in the first inning Tuesday night. It is a bit hasty to mention the 2024 Washington Nationals in the same breath as the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks, though the arrival of the National League’s reigning champions aton Tuesday night — coupled with Washington’s occupation of an NL wild-card spot entering the day — certainly warranted a little contemplation.
Entering Tuesday, nine teams were within three games of one another in the NL wild-card race. Whether that tempts Washington to buy at the trade deadline and make an unexpected push or sell in a market that will have no shortage of buyers remains to be seen. Those problems persisted as Irvin issued a season-high four walks, fighting the friction of long Arizona at-bats and exiting after five innings, with Geraldo Perdomo’s double, Carroll’s triple and Marte’s sacrifice fly in the fifth pushing two more runs across. Washington’s rotation had allowed two or fewer runs in each of the previous 10 games.“Can’t really pinpoint it,” Irvin said. “Just didn’t have great command of my fastball tonight, and that’s not a recipe for success.
