Nationals aim for series sweep against Dodgers

The Washington Nationals achieved an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night, marking their fourth consecutive win and their first home series victory against the Dodgers since 2014. James Wood led the charge with two home runs and five RBIs, significantly contributing to the Nationals' offensive efforts. The Dodgers, who started the season strong at 8-0, have now lost four of their last five games, struggling particularly with their batting approach as they recorded 15 strikeouts in the game. Los Angeles pitcher Justin Wrobleski, filling in for the injured Blake Snell, allowed eight runs in five innings, leading to his team's defeat. The Dodgers are also missing key players like Freddie Freeman, who is expected to return soon. The series continues with the Nationals looking to complete the sweep with a spot start by Landon Knack for Los Angeles.
