In a commanding 9-3 victory, the Washington Nationals defeated the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by Josh Bell’s three-run homer during a seven-run 10th inning, setting a franchise record for extra innings. Rookie Daylen Lile initiated the scoring with a sacrifice fly, followed by Luis Garcia Jr.’s two-RBI double and Bell’s eighth home run of the season. Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore shone with eight strikeouts over six shutout innings, but the Mariners rallied to tie the game in the seventh before the Nationals pulled away in the 10th.
