Washington Nationals shortstop Dylan Crews delivered a walk‑off RBI single in the bottom of the tenth inning, turning a 4‑4 tie into a 5‑4 victory over their opponents.
After the first two batters were retired, a pair of walks loaded the bases, putting runners on second and setting the stage for the decisive hit.
A clutch finish
Crews’ single slipped past the second baseman and into center field, allowing the winning run to cross the plate as the crowd erupted.
The hit marked Crews’ first career walk‑off, a milestone that underscored his rapid ascent from the minors to the majors.
Selected second overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, Crews had starred alongside pitcher Paul Skenes at LSU, helping the Tigers capture a national championship before turning professional.
In his second full MLB season, he is batting .220 with a .652 OPS, having amassed 71 hits, 44 runs and 34 RBI through 2026, while a recent seven‑game stretch saw him hit .286 with eight hits and five RBI.
The win gave Washington a 2‑0 lead in the series and highlighted the team’s early‑season momentum as they look to build on a promising start.
