While Monday's game did have some nice moments, such as the towering homer hit by Dylan Crews as he continues to finish the season strong, the team could not get out of the hole that scuffling ace MacKenzie Gore put them in early on. After Nasim Nuñez homered to lead off the game, it appeared as if the visiting team would be in business, but that proved not to be the case.

In the eighth inning, the Padres' regret over trading Juan Soto emerged as CJ Abrams and James Wood delivered crucial hits, leading to a Nationals victory.
