Hold on to your baseball cap, Jacob — because Friday night in Oakland was something straight out of a video game on All-Star difficulty. The Washington Nationals came to town and absolutely DESTROYED the Athletics by a jaw-dropping score of 23–4. Twenty. Three. Runs. That's not a football score — that's baseball history happening right in front of you!
The undeniable star of the show was Alejandro Chaparro, who put together one of the most outrageous individual stat lines of the entire 2026 season: 4-for-5 at the plate, 2 home runs, 8 RBI, 4 runs scored, and a walk for good measure. Eight RBI in a single game! To put that in perspective, most players are thrilled to get 8 RBI in a whole week. Chaparro did it in nine innings. The Nationals are now sitting right at .500 at 49–49, and performances like this are exactly what could push them over the top in the NL East.
For the Athletics, it was a rough night to forget — they drop to 41–56, putting them 7.5 games back in the AL West. Sometimes baseball is brutal, and last night the A's found out the hard way. But hey, there's always today!
It was a MASSIVE Friday in Major League Baseball with 14 games on the schedule — including a doubleheader in Boston! The Red Sox swept the Rays in both games, the Braves hammered the Rangers 15–1 (with Chris Sale dealing 7 shutout innings), the Dodgers edged the Yankees 2–1, and the White Sox surprised Toronto with a 12–4 win. Two extra-inning thrillers also went down: the Royals outlasted the Padres 7–6 in 10, and the Brewers beat the Marlins 2–1 in 10. What a slate!
