The Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Washington Nationals 13-6 on Friday at Nationals Park, powered by home runs from five different players. Emmet Sheehan earned his first win of the season despite early struggles and reduced fastball velocity. Kyle Tucker and Shohei Ohtani highlighted the offensive outburst with their first homers as Dodgers and of 2026, respectively.
The Boston Red Sox acquired left-handed pitching prospect Jake Bennett from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-hander Luis Perales on Monday. Both pitchers, recent Tommy John surgery survivors, represent a swap of high-upside prospects in Boston's ongoing pitching overhaul. The deal highlights connections between the teams' front offices.
