Final Hour Fun Fact. Quick Hits with a DVR from Vassegh at Nationals Park.

The Washington Nationals kicked off their 21st season with a mix of optimism and competitive spirit on Opening Day, though they suffered a 7-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in extra innings. MacKenzie Gore made a spectacular debut, striking out 13 batters and allowing just one hit over six innings. Keibert Ruiz contributed to the excitement with a home run, but the team faced challenges, particularly from the bullpen, which gave up crucial runs late in the game. Despite the loss, the atmosphere at Nationals Park was electric, and there are positive signs as the team continues its rebuilding journey. As the season unfolds, all eyes are on Keibert Ruiz, who is determined to bounce back from a tough 2024. In his opening game performance, he showcased significant improvements, including a standout defensive play where he gunned down a base runner. Ruiz's home run against Phillies' ace Zack Wheeler demonstrated his hard work during the offseason is paying off. With an impressive start to the new season—boasting a .500 batting average and a perfect caught-stealing rate—there's a lot of excitement surrounding his potential to contribute to the team's success going forward.
