Foster Griffin made his Washington debut with two hits and a walk allowed over two scoreless innings, which “earned” him the win. He threw 29 pitches, 15 for strikes.
Three watchlist players came off the bench:
- Cayden Wallace subbed for Nasim Nuñez at 2B and played the last three innings on defense, but did not get an at-bat.
- Phillip Glasser replaced James Wood in LF and grounded out in the 7th.
- Yoyo Morales followed Brady House at 3B and was caught looking to end the 8th.
