23-year-old is 1st huge leaguer to attain feat this season, third in Nats/Expos historical past

6:01 AM UTC

KANSAS CITY — The theme of the evening was offense, and Luis García was out in entrance of all people, main the hit parade.

In the Nationals’ wild 12-10 victory over the Royals on Friday evening, García discovered himself in some elite firm by going 6-for-6 on the plate with 4 singles and two doubles. He joined Anthony Rendon (April 30, 2017) and Rondell White (June 11, 1995) as the one gamers in Nationals/Expos historical past with six hits in a single sport.

García, who entered the sport batting .262, noticed his common bounce 26 factors to .288. That’s fairly a feat for a participant who already had 164 at-bats when he arrived on the ballpark.

“I’m seeing how the hard work is paying off,” mentioned Washington’s second baseman via a translator.

For the left-handed-hitting García, 5 of his six hits went to the alternative area.

“That says a lot, because my whole approach is to stay up the middle and go the other way as well,” García mentioned.

García (23 years, 10 days) turned the second youngest participant to have six hits in a nine-inning sport in AL/NL historical past.

The huge evening for García made fairly an impression on Nationals supervisor Dave Martinez, who wanted each hit and each run his gamers might muster after coming into the street journey opener with a taxed bullpen.

“The offense woke up, and Luis had a great day,” Martinez mentioned. “It’s something he has been working on — keeping his legs under him and driving the ball the other way.”

It regarded as if Washington would possibly be capable to cruise to a victory after exploding for eight runs within the sixth — their most in an inning since Sept. 28, 2019 — to take a 9-2 lead. García was a giant issue within the rally, changing into the primary participant in Nats historical past (since 2005) to document two doubles in a single inning. But the Royals wouldn’t roll over. They lastly obtained Nationals starter Patrick Corbin out of the sport within the seventh and used a pair of homers from Bobby Witt Jr. to gasoline a giant comeback that introduced them inside 9-8.

Washington saved its foot on the pedal with three tack-on runs within the eighth, however Kansas City wouldn’t go away. Order was lastly restored when Chad Kuhl bailed out the bullpen by getting the ultimate 5 outs after the Royals drew inside 12-10.

Kuhl confronted Witt within the eighth and induced an RBI forceout. With the Nats nonetheless main by two, Kuhl fanned MJ Melendez with runners on the corners, then labored a clear ninth inning.

“You just have to execute, especially when a guy is hot like [Witt] was,” mentioned Kuhl, who earned his first profession save. “We just tried to attack with my best stuff.”

Corbin wound up going 6 1/3 innings, however relievers Erasmo Ramírez and Carl Edwards Jr. struggled to carry off the Royals earlier than Kuhl got here to the rescue.

“It seemed like no lead was safe,” Corbin mentioned.

In the top, the Nationals had a bit extra offense than the Royals — which meant that García’s profession evening was a successful evening.
