Washington Nationals 7 – 3 Colorado Rockies

MLB · July 21, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Washington Nationals took down the Colorado Rockies seven to three Monday night, and this one had a real swing to it before Washington pulled away for good.

The Rockies never got a chance to settle in. Alejo Chaparro put the Nationals up three nothing in the very first inning with a four hundred twenty seven foot shot to left center, scoring both Wood and Mead. Colorado answered in the third when Castro doubled to center and cleared the bases, scoring McCarthy, Rumfield, and Carrigg to tie it at three. That was the Rockies' moment, and they couldn't hold it.

Washington came right back in the sixth. Jacob Young went four hundred thirty seven feet to left center to put the Nationals back on top four to three, and that was the turning point. The seventh made it a statement — CJ Abrams went four hundred twenty feet to right center, a two-run shot that stretched the lead to six to three. Lile added a ninth inning RBI triple to close it out at seven.

On the stat sheet, Chase Mead was quietly excellent going three for five. Chaparro drove in three on that first inning blast. McCarthy had a two hit night for Colorado but the Rockies simply couldn't sustain anything after that third inning rally.

Washington controlled this game from the jump, gave up the tie, then took it right back and never let go. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
