The Guardians bring an 8-2 record into a three-game set, while the Nationals have won nine of their last 11 games.
- The Washington Nationals defeated the Cleveland Guardians 10-2 on Monday night in their first meeting of the season at Progressive Field, with Curtis Mead hitting two homers and Luis García Jr. nearly completing the cycle.
- After averaging 2.3 runs over their previous four games, the Nationals entered the matchup 16-7 in May with nine wins in their last 11 games, though they have historically lost six of their last 10 against Cleveland.
- James Wood's 412-foot leadoff homer on the sixth pitch sparked seven runs in the first three innings; Jacob Young and CJ Abrams also homered, with Abrams leading the Nats with 45 RBI and Wood with 13 home runs.
- Tanner Bibee's three-inning start proved costly, surrendering eight hits, seven runs, and five homers, while Zack Littell dominated in relief with seven innings allowing one run and seven strikeouts; Rhys Hoskins and Ángel Martínez scored Cleveland's only runs.
- The series continues tomorrow with RHP Cade Cavalli facing LHP Joey Cantillo, followed by RHP Gavin Williams versus RHP Miles Mikolas on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m., before Cleveland hosts Boston starting Friday.
