Phillies’ Nola allows six runs in 2 1/3 innings in his return, Bohm homers in his first game back

August 17, 2025

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola’s first start after returning from the injured list didn’t last long. Third baseman Alec Bohm, meanwhile, made a big contribution in his first game back. Nola allowed six runs in 2 1/3 innings against the Washington Nationals, a start that ended when seven consecutive batters reached safely. Nola struck out four in his first major league outing since May 14. The former All-Star was one of the majors’ most durable pitchers entering the season, but a sprained right ankle and fractured rib cost him three months. Bohm hit a three-run homer in the second inning and went 2 for 4 in his first game since July 18.

Nationals’ bat-retrieving dog Bruce laps up pregame attention, makes MLB debut

June 15, 2025

The dog days of summer arrived at Nationals Park. Bruce, a 21-month-old golden retriever, fetched a bat during a ceremony before the Washington Nationals’ game against the Miami Marlins as part of a Pups in the Park promotion. He retrieved bats the last two seasons with the Rochester Red Wings, Washington’s Triple-A affiliate. Bruce, wearing a bandana with an “MLB debut” patch he received when he arrived at the stadium, was presented a commemorative bat. He then took a circuitous route from the dugout toward first base after Nationals reliever Zach Brzykcy dropped the bat in foul territory before the bat dog collected his quarry.
