Washington Nationals vs. New York Yankees: Game Highlights

New York starter Luis Gil (2-1) allowed five hits and one run in five innings. He walked four for the third time since returning from a lat strain, and struck out five.

Anthony Volpe returned after sitting out two games and went 0 for 4 .

CJ Abrams hit an RBI single off Gil in the third.

Gore allowed three runs and three hits in five innings. The left-hander fell to 1-5 since the All-Star break as the Nationals lost their fourth straight.

Key moment Gore allowed a double to Paul Goldschmidt and walked Aaron Judge and Bellinger ahead of Stanton’s double. Tim Hill retired Wood on a groundout with the bases loaded to end the sixth after relieving Fernando Cruz.

Key stat Stanton is hitting .346 (17 for 49) with runners in scoring position this season.
