The Washington Nationals finally returned to their winning ways in an early afternoon game on Monday. The Nationals, who have been pretty abysmal during day games in the 2025 season, were able to send their fans home happy on Labor Day, and it was largely due to their new battery, which had spent a lot of time together in Rochester before making their MLB debuts on Monday afternoon.
Monday's starter, lefty Andrew Alvarez, was one of 2 Nationals that were called up yesterday as part of MLB's annual September call-ups, and he did everything that needed to be done in order for his club to stop the bleeding from their losing ways.
