July 20 - Mitchell Parker tossed six solid innings and Nathaniel Lowe homered to help the Washington Nationals record a 4-2 victory over the visiting San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Drew Millas added a two-run single as Washington snapped a five-game losing streak and won for just the second time in its past 11 contests.
Luis Arraez and Jose Iglesias each had two hits for San Diego, which lost for just the second time in the past six games.
The game was delayed 65 minutes at the outset due to inclement weather.
Parker (6-10) allowed two runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked one while winning for the first time since beating the Padres in San Diego on June 23.
Kyle Finnegan worked a perfect ninth for his first save since June 6 and his 19th of the season. He induced Jackson Merrill to ground to second, then struck out Iglesias and Jake Cronenworth to end it.

Daylen Lile walked, moved to second on a groundout and advanced to third on Jacob Young's single. CJ Abrams then hit into a fielder's choice to score Lile.
Lowe came up with two outs in the sixth and hit a drive to center off Yuki Matsui that narrowly cleared the wall and the leap of Merrill.
Washington jumped ahead with a two-out, two-run second inning. Brady House singled and Lile followed with a double. Millas then delivered a two-run single to right to score both runners.
San Diego tied it by scoring twice in the third. Iglesias led off with a double and scored on Martin Maldonado's one-out double. With two outs, Arraez singled home Maldonado.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min to join a Major Soccer League team this summer is 8/15 with Sky Bet

Tottenham legend Son Heung-min is attracting a wealth of interest from teams in Saudi Arabia and the USA this summer, having most recently emerged a shock target for Major Soccer League outfit Los Angeles FC. The South Korean, who has now entered the final year of his Spurs deal, is being linked with a move away from north London this summer following the arrival of new manager Thomas Frank from Brentford. As part of Sky Bet's transfer specials market, Son is now favoured to join an MLS club by September 2, which carries odds of 8/15. A move to the Saudi Pro League is deemed the next most likely destination with the bookies, garnering odds of 4/5. Meanwhile, a reunion with former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce could be on the cards, with Sky Bet giving that scenario odds of 7/2. Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United and Liverpool round out the top six, with odds of 7/2, 12/1 and 18/1 respectively. Sky Bet Special: Son Heung-min to sign for before September 2, 2025 Any MLS club - 8/15 Any Saudi Pro League club - 4/5 Fenerbahce - 7/2 Bayer Leverkusen - 7/2 Man United - 12/1 Liverpool - 18/1

We train a lot, we train hard. Today you saw also what kind of intensity we can bring."I think we're still at the beginning. We have a lot more potential to show in that aspect, but I think for today it was good intensity and a good performance."Last season was not good enough, we know that, and now we have to find a way to improve. I think we've made some good signings already. You saw already Matheus [Cunha], he can bring a lot to the team."I like the mentality of us today, high pressing, a lot of intensity."After just 11 league wins and a 15th-place finish, 2024-25 was regarded as the club's worst campaign since the 1973-74 relegation season and Amorim and his players will know they need to do better this time around."After a season like that, it's normal to have to build your confidence," Dalot added.

You start to believe more in what you're doing."[This win] was a good example of what we can show, and hopefully with this the group becomes even better."

Commanders inducting Santana Moss into Ring of Fame

July 27 - The Washington Commanders will induct wide receiver Santana Moss into the franchise's Ring of Fame during the Sept. 7 season opener against the New York Giants, the team announced Sunday. Moss played the last 10 seasons (2005-14) of his NFL career with Washington following four seasons with the New York Jets (2001-04). He ranks third in Washington franchise history in career catches (581), fourth in receiving yards (7,867) and seventh in touchdown receptions (47). Moss made his lone Pro Bowl in his first year in the nation's capital, catching 84 passes for a career-high 1,483 yards and nine TDs. His yardage total remains the Washington single-season record. The Commanders surprised Moss, 46, during a live broadcast with the team at training camp in Ashburn, Va. He was surrounded by friends and family members wearing burgundy caps with "MOSS" on the front and his jersey No. 89 on the sides. "Normally, I am so nonchalant," an emotional Moss said. "I don't know how to take in stuff, but man, that one right there ... I don't want to show my tears, but I'm about to shed some. I appreciate that news." Drafted in the first round (16th overall) by the Jets in 2001, Moss retired with 732 receptions for 10,283 yards and 66 scores in 197 games (135 starts). He had 24 100-yard games and four 1,000-yard seasons. --Field Level Media
