Luis GarcĂa Jr. finally broke out of a frustrating slump with a thunderous 390-foot homer Saturday night, leading the Washington Nationals to a 9â3 win over the Twins. The bat-flip moment was both relief and release after several hard-hit outs in recent games. His performance, paired with big nights from CJ Abrams and Alex Call, helped snap a 22-inning scoreless streak and reminded fans what this young team can do when the lineup clicks. Interim manager Miguel Cairo praised GarcĂaâs resurgence, calling it âthe Luis GarcĂa that we know.â
Off the field, the Nationals made their first trade under interim GM Mike DeBartolo, sending veteran Amed Rosario to the Yankees for pitching prospect Clayton Beeter and 18-year-old DSL standout Browm Martinez. Rosarioâs leadership and consistent bat (.270/.736 OPS) will be missed, especially by teammates like GarcĂa. With Rosario gone, infielder JosĂ© Tena is set to rejoin the big league roster. The move hints at more changes ahead with the trade deadline looming on Thursday.
