(AP Photo/Gregory Bull) SAN DIEGO (AP) — Martín Maldonado hit a tying home run in the fifth off San Diego native Trevor Williams and Jose Iglesias brought in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded groundout in the sixth as the Padres beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Tuesday night. The bottom four batters in the Padres' order each drove in a run. Advertisement Padres rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert was forced out in the fourth after being hit on his pitching elbow by a 103-mph line drive by Jacob Young. Bergert bent over for a minute with his arm pulled in tight and then popped up and grabbed the ball, which landed near the rubber. He threw to first but Young beat it out for an infield single. After being checked by a trainer, Bergert came out. He was replaced by Adrian Morejon. Young eventually scored on James Wood's grounder to give the Nationals a 3-0 lead. Wood, a former Padres' prospect, also drew a bases-loaded walk in the second. The Padres began their comeback when they scored twice off Williams in the fourth, on Xander Bogaerts' groundout and Jake Cronenworth's RBI double. Advertisement Maldonado, the No. 9 hitter, tied it with a homer to left-center, his fourth. Williams was chased after walking the first two batters in the sixth and Cole Henry came on and walked the bases loaded. But the Padres got only one run, on Iglesias' groundout. Williams (3-9) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, with three walks and one strikeout. Jason Adam (6-3) got the win and Robert Suarez pitched the ninth for his 22nd save, tied for the most in the majors. Key moment Suarez struck out Wood to end it. Wood had three hits and four RBIs in Washington's 10-6 win Monday night. Key stat Advertisement Morejon has a 1.15 ERA in the 17 career relief outings he's been asked to get six-plus outs. That includes an active 18-inning scoreless innings streak across the seven such outings since Oct. 3, 2022. Up next Nationals LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-7, 3.19 ERA) and Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (7-2, 3.64) are scheduled to start the series finale Wednesday. Gore was one of six players acquired from San Diego for Juan Soto on Aug. 2, 2022. ___ AP MLB:

Nationals' Daylen Lile makes incredible catch even MLB's cameraman couldn't track
The post Nationals' Daylen Lile makes incredible catch even MLB's cameraman couldn't track appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Washington Nationals are headed for their sixth straight losing season, as the team hasn't reached the playoffs since its title run in 2019. If there's an upside to another lost season in Washington, it's that the Nationals' talented, young prospects are getting playing time. One of those players is making the most of his opportunity. Daylen Lile hit his first MLB home run last week against the Rockies. And the young outfielder flashed some leather against the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday. Advertisement The rookie right fielder demonstrated the importance of backing up every play when he made an outstanding running catch on a ball that center fielder Jacob Young never saw, per MLB. Daylen Lile flashes potential in Nationals win Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images With the Nationals up 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy got under a 2-2 Jake Irvin curveball, lifting a towering fly to center. However, no one, including the camera operator, could track the ball. Young hesitantly drifted in before putting his hands up to signal that he couldn't find the ball. Second baseman Luis Garcia trotted toward him and began pointing at the sky as the camera remained fixed on the two players converging in shallow center. Advertisement Just when it appeared the ball would drop in, allowing Teoscar Hernandez to score from first base and cut the Nationals' lead to 2-1, Lile suddenly sprinted into the frame. He chased down the errant fly, making a spectacular backhand stab at the warning track to retire the side. The play seemed particularly important at the time, as the Nationals were clinging to a two-run lead. But Washington's offense came alive Saturday as the team would plate five more runs to beat the Dodgers 7-3. Lile, the Nationals' ninth-ranked prospect in 2025, demonstrated his defensive abilities against LA. And James Wood, Washington's No. 2 prospect last season, continued to contribute at the plate. Wood snapped the Nationals' 11-game losing streak with a walk-off home run against the Rockies Thursday. And he would go deep again against the Dodgers Saturday. Wood is putting together a superb second season with Washington. The 22-year-old left fielder is slashing .278/.375/.560 with 21 home runs, 57 RBI, 46 runs scored and 3.4 bWAR in 77 games. Advertisement Lile, meanwhile, has struggled offensively in the majors after a strong showing in Triple-A earlier this season. He did double and draw a walk against the Dodgers but he's slashing just .163/.222/.347 with one homer, three RBI and five runs scored in 16 games with the Nationals.
