Washington Nationals right fielder Joey Wiemer reached base safely in his first 10 plate appearances of the 2026 MLB season, tying Carlos Delgado's mark from 2002. Wiemer went 8 for 8 with two walks before recording his first out. The streak ended on his 11th plate appearance against Philadelphia Phillies starter Taijuan Walker.
The Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 at Wrigley Field on Sunday, securing their first season-opening series win since 2018. Alex Bregman hit his first two home runs as a Cub, but Joey Wiemer set a franchise record by reaching base in his first eight plate appearances. The victory came despite late rallies from Chicago.
