On Sunday, the Washington Nationals completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, securing a 6-3 victory. The Nationals' offense started strong when CJ Abrams and Lane Thomas notably hit home runs on the very first two pitches thrown by Cincinnati's Lyon Richardson in his major league debut. Despite their position in the standings, the last-place Nationals managed to finish the series on a high note.
