Nationals come home after a strong trip and deliver a dud against Cubs
The scene in the fifth inning of Tuesday night's contest at Nationals Park between Washington and the Chicago Cubs was an unwelcome sight for any home team: visiting fans on their feet, cheering with anticipation. Two outs, bases loaded, full count. Cole Henry needed to beat Nico Hoerner and get the Nationals out of the inning. His fastball was off the plate but it didn't matter. Hoerner lined it to right, a two-run single that broke open what turned into an 8-3 Nationals loss that included a litany of mental errors.

He almost quit baseball. Now he's one of MLB's best relievers as a rookie.
Cole Henry had to push through. The mild-mannered 25-year-old missed most of 2021 and 2022 with misdiagnosed elbow injuries. He pitched off and on in 2023 after returning from thoracic outlet syndrome, the same affliction that ended Stephen Strasburg's career. So that pinch in his armpit last spring? He told himself it wasn't an injury. Couldn't be. And frankly, if it was, he didn't care.

Cole Henry wasn't trying to be quiet. He wanted Jackson Rutledge, who sat at his locker filling out a crossword puzzle a few seats down in the Washington Nationals' clubhouse, to hear every single word he said. Henry was talking about the right-hander, and he wanted his words to get under Rutledge's skin.
