Dylan Crews Hits an RBI Single in 10th Sends Nationals Past Marlins, 5-4
Crews drove in the winning run with his first major league walk-off hit, and Washington earned its first walk-off victory this season.
On Saturday, Dylan Crews lined an RBI single in the 10th inning, securing a 5-4 victory for the Washington Nationals over the Miami Marlins. It was Crews' first career walk-off hit and the first walk-off win of the season for the Nationals.
The Nationals took a four-run lead in the second inning, but starter Cade Cavalli left the game after being struck by a liner in the fourth while throwing a no-hitter with eight strikeouts and three walks.
Heriberto Hernandez hit a home run estimated at 413 feet for the Marlins, tying the game at 4 in the seventh inning. The Nationals' offense went silent afterward, recording no hits until the 10th inning.
Following back-to-back walks to Jose Tena and Daylen Lile, Crews capitalized on the opportunity with his walk-off single. Right-hander Orlando Ribalta earned the win after pitching a scoreless 10th inning.
This walk-off hit offers a significant boost for Crews, who has struggled for consistency throughout his professional career. The Nationals hope this clutch performance will serve as a spark for the former top prospect's development.
Dylan Crews connected a simple booster with two outs in the tenth inning to give the Washington Nationals the victory on Saturday 5-4 against the Miami Marlins.
