Newman followed with a three-run blast over the short wall in left to give Los Angeles a four-run advantage. Luis Rengifo then doubled and Nolan Schanuel walked to end Salazar's outing.
Ryan Loutos then walked Trout and Ward to force in Rengifo and make it 7-2. Adell bounced out to end the inning.
Abrams came up with two out in the fifth and hit a solo homer to left center off Kyle Hendricks to tie the score at 1.
In the top of the seventh, Washington's Daylen Lile walked with one out off Ryan Zeferjahn (5-1) and stole second. Two pitches later, Adams ripped an RBI single to center to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead.
Washington's Michael Soroka allowed one run and two hits over six innings. He struck out five and walked one.
Hendricks gave up one run and five hits over five innings for the Angels. He struck out five and walked none.
Los Angeles plated a run in the second as Ward walked and Adell singled off Soroka to put runners at the corners. O'Hoppe then grounded into a double play to score Ward.

Soon-to-be NBA star Ace Bailey makes stunning first move in Utah amid reports he was 'unhappy' to join Jazz
Ace Bailey had the perfect answer to his critics on Saturday as he wasted little time getting in his first workout with the Jazz. There had been speculation that Bailey could holdout from Utah, as he reportedly preferred to be drafted elsewhere and admitted he had 'no idea' the Jazz were interested in selecting him at No. 5 in Wednesday's NBA Draft. The noise around Bailey and Utah then got a little louder on Friday when ESPN's Brian Windhorst revealed on SportsCenter that Bailey had had 'minimal contact' with the team and had yet to report to the franchise. After landing in Salt Lake City on Saturday, however, Bailey quickly won over Jazz fans as the team posted a video of him working out hours later. In fact, Bailey's suitcase was seen behind the basket as he got some shots up. 'Didn't even unpack his bags…yea he gonna be one of them ones,' one fan said on X. he wasn't kidding when he said he was 'ready to get to work' #TakeNote | @AiriousB — Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) June 29, 2025 'BRO. This is the best thing I've ever seen. I honestly don't think I've ever been happier as a Jazz fan,' another beamed. 'HIS AIRNESS HAS ARRIVED!!!,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'I cannot wait to see this kid play!!' Bailey's pre-draft process became a huge talking point, as he refused to work out for any teams and tried to land himself on the Wizards, Pelicans or Nets according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony. Prior to the draft, Givony also reported that Bailey's agent, Omar Cooper, had told at least one team in the top five that Bailey would not report if they decided to draft him. Ahead of Bailey's arrival, a Jazz representative told ESPN on Friday that they've had 'good communication' with Bailey and his representatives ahead of summer league training camp starting on Monday. 'We feel good about everything. Ace and his family are coming to Utah tomorrow,' the Jazz representative told ESPN. 'We'll have a press conference Sunday, and a practice Monday. 'This has always been the plan, including for our other rookies, Walter Clayton and John Tonje - to let them go home and collect their belongings, and then fly right to summer league from Salt Lake City.' The president of GSE Worldwide (who are representing Bailey in conjunction with Cooper), Andrew Witlieb, also told FOS Today that the ex-Rutgers star was 'thrilled' to be in Utah. Bailey is set to make his Jazz summer league debut on July 11 against the Hornets.

Luke Humphries needs X-ray on swollen thumb after darts fan pulls his hand during shock walk-on at US Darts Masters
LUKE HUMPHRIES faces a hospital visit with an injury scare after being yanked back by a fan on a walk-on. The World No1 was left in pain after the thumb on his throwing hand was pulled back by an overzealous fan during his walk-on at the US Masters in Madison Square Garden. 2 2 The bizarre incident took place ahead of 'Cool Hand's' first-round match against Stowe Buntz. Despite the discomfort, Humphries still managed to win the World Series event after seeing off Nathan Aspinall 8-6 in the final. But the Cheshire thrower confessed he'll have to get an x-ray as the pain refuses to go away. He said: 'My thumb is incredibly swollen. It's hard to play through. I was struggling with the grip. I couldn't hold my thumb in the same position. 'I don't want to make it all about that, I've won the title and I don't want it to be about me having an injury, but the guy when he pulled my hand back, he really hurt it. 'I'm going to have to go home and get it x-rayed. I don't think it's broken as it doesn't hurt to squeeze it. I've got a couple of weeks off. Next time I play is two weeks away, so I've got plenty of time. 'It's not broken, that's the main thing, but it's not in good shape, it's incredibly swollen. 'When I was in the final, I said to my family I'm going to give it everything. 'If I injure my hand in the final, I don't care. I tried my best and it was good enough so really pleased. I wasn't at my best but I managed to win.'
