Nationals Lose to Pirates, 7-1
The home crowd had a good time watching the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates get after it.

Pittsburgh turned a good performance from starting pitcher Joe Taylor into a 7-1 triumph over the Washington Nationals at PNC Park. The Nationals fall to 8-10 and continue their lackluster start in 2026.

Pittsburgh catcher Cristo Avilés helped the Pirates go up, 1-0, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Avilés hit a run-scoring single off Washington pitcher Kirk Griffith.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Taylor said. "That's why you play the game."
