Lineup change: Jacob Young has been scratched with left hand soreness, so Jose Tena takes over his spot in the lineup as DH, with James Wood moving into the field.
The Artemis astronauts threw out the ceremonial first pitches, a giant flag was unfurled for the national anthem and the Nats and Bucs are underway on a scorching, 93-degree Fourth of July in Washington, D.C.
Some bad miscommunication there. Millas threw down to second, Abrams wasn't covering, couldn't get the throw back to the plate in time to get the lead runner. Nats down 1-0.
Man..too bad Cavalli or Griffin couldn’t start today. Winning on the 4th of July is always special, and those guy would provide the best chance.
Hope Littell can keep it in the yard.
Just score 15 runs. That ought to be enough.
Hah!
The 9th inning is becoming the danger zone
I dunno, the Bucs can hit!!
😂😂😂
Hope the bats stay HOT!! Cuz the Bucs can hit too.
Wood is a lock for all stars, Griffin deserves to go but probably won't make it because of the rule that every team has to be represented
We are at the park right now indoors in the club area behind section 216. It looks like it's going to be a sellout.
I sure don't see a sellout so far...
I just went into the club section inside section 216. Full of people.
That's what I was wondering - are they here just not in their seats yet? They only missed Wood's towering blast and a bunch of Pirate bloops & bunts.
We're both in the club section bottom of the sixth and it's mobbed.
I hope that NATS BATS stay over 100° today. Some really good pitxhinging would be a bang today, too. GO NATS!! GET A CURLY W!!
Hope Palmquist can give us a couple good innings and that Good Littell shows up today.

Disappointing to see the empty seats. I hope the park fills in with a late arriving crowd.

The white uniforms look 🔥
But should feel cooler than the other colors.

Almost looked like Reynolds at 2nd interfered with CJ's throw home.
Wood goes UPPER DECK!
Us Woods can hit:))
Bungled defending the double steal. Almost escaped without a run.
CJ sleep walking through the first inning ?
Possibly - or he thought the play was to let him steal second.
With CJ ya never know:))
Yeah, maybe he missed a throw thru sign?
Upper deck shot first pitch WOOD!
James Wood to the third deck in right field on the first pitch of the bottom of the first. Give the man a red seat.
He pulled that, he rarely does that.
That ball was served up to him on a T. Rarely get a pitch like that.
Note to self don't throw 1st pitch fastball up and center of the plate to Wood.
First pitch HR for Mr James Wood!
