José Tena's Winning Hit Leads Nationals Over Angels

In a thrilling finish, José Tena delivered a game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning, leading the Washington Nationals to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Tena, who was called up from the minor leagues earlier in the day, made an immediate impact, marking the Nationals' second consecutive walk-off win and their third of the season. This victory also highlighted Washington's resilience, as it was their 31st come-from-behind win of the year. The game saw a standout performance from Angels' Zach Neto, who hit his 17th home run of the season and recorded three hits. The Nationals initially took the lead with a home run from Wood in the second inning and extended it to 2-1 with a single from Call in the third. Call has been on a hot streak since his call-up, boasting a .543 batting average with nine RBIs in his last eight games. The Angels fought back, with Neto's leadoff homer in the fifth giving them a brief 3-2 lead. However, the Nationals tied the game in the seventh inning against Angels starter Griffin Canning, who pitched seven solid innings without allowing a walk or a strikeout. The Nationals' bullpen was impressive, with four relievers combining for six scoreless innings. In roster news, the Angels placed RHP José Marte on the 15-day injured list due to a viral infection and recalled RHP Jack Kochanowicz from Double-A. The Nationals acquired Tena and two other players from Cleveland on July 29 in exchange for outfielder Lane Thomas. The series finale will feature LHP MacKenzie Gore on the mound for Washington.
