The Nationals got contributions from a number of young building blocks - and then one key productive plate appearance from a seasoned vet - to pull off a stirring, come-from-behind win today. https://t.co/zyQ23CraUw
A 9th-inning comeback lifts the @Nationals to their first win! https://t.co/LcJIiSZb0X

Final: Nats 7, Reds 6. A bunch of contributions from the kids (Abrams, Ruiz, Lipscomb) and then a professional at-bat from a veteran (Rosario) - plus one more Web Gem from Lipscomb - to secure their first win of 2024.
Keibert Ruiz, doing what he so often did last season: Game-tying homer in the late innings. It's 4-4 in the 8th.
Trey Lipscomb becomes the first member of the @Nationals to record a hit and steal a base in an MLB debut since the club moved to DC. https://t.co/wQIWFAuyxS
Cool note from Nats PR: Trey Lipscomb is the first player in club history with a hit and a stolen base in his MLB debut. Only other to do it in franchise history? Delino DeShields for the Expos in 1990. (And DeShields managed Lipscomb in Harrisburg last year.)
Trey Lipscomb made history in his MLB debut for the Nationals by getting a hit and a stolen base, a feat only achieved once before in franchise history by Delino DeShields. Keibert Ruiz hit a game-tying homer in the 8th inning, leading to a 9th-inning comeback win for the Nationals against the Reds, with contributions from young players like CJ Abrams and veteran Rosario.
