When the games really matter, the Washington Nationals put on their best show, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates by a final score of 5-4. Max Fried threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The series now sits at 1-1 in the best-of-5 affair.

Washington used a timely hit from David Dahl to get the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Dahl. "And not try to do too much."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 6th , 2026 at Nationals Park in Washington.
