Cubs, Nationals conclude high-scoring series
Joey Wiemer hit two homers and Jake Irvin struck out seven as the Nationals won two of three games in the series, beating the Cubs 6-3.
- On Sunday, the Washington Nationals secured a season-opening series win with a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Joey Wiemer and Keibert Ruiz homered to power the offense.
- Right-Hander Jake Irvin allowed two runs and three hits over five innings, earning his first win. Clayton Beeter worked a clean ninth inning for his first save.
- Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong signed a six-year, $115 million extension through 2032 this week. "That's the best part is knowing that I'm here," Crow-Armstrong said, crediting the deal for his early-season confidence.
