Washington Nationals at San Francisco Giants: Final Score & Recap

The Washington Nationals rallied from a tie game with a three-run ninth inning to defeat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 at Oracle Park on June 8, 2026, handing San Francisco a loss the DiamondIQ model's estimate put at just 43 percent likely before first pitch. Washington managed just one run through eight innings against a Giants pitching staff that logged 13 hits allowed on the defensive side, but the Nationals' offense erupted when it mattered most, piling three runs onto closer Keaton Winn in the top of the ninth to turn what had been a 3-1 deficit entering that frame into a 4-3 lead they would not relinquish.

The decisive sequence centered on back-to-back singles off Winn that swung the game's outcome dramatically. Daylen Lile opened the ninth with a single that shifted win probability by 39.4 percentage points in Washington's favor, and CJ Abrams followed with a single worth an additional 35.8 percentage points, representing the two largest single-play swings of the contest. On the San Francisco side, Bryce Eldridge provided the Giants' most meaningful offensive contributions, doubling off Clayton Beeter in the eighth for a 13.1-point swing and later making contact that kept San Francisco threats alive, but his strikeout against Gus Varland to close the ninth carried the largest win-probability impact for Washington's pitching staff in that frame, worth 19.0 points.

By the DiamondIQ model's accounting, CJ Abrams finished as the game's top performer, posting a combined WPA of plus-39.1 with a RE24 of plus-1.7, while Daylen Lile contributed plus-32.1 WPA. Despite San Francisco's 13-hit output, Logan Webb led all pitchers at plus-36.7 WPA, and Miles Mikolas added plus-25.4 WPA for Washington's rotation. The Nationals committed two errors against a clean Giants defense, yet those miscues ultimately proved inconsequential as Washington's ninth-inning burst erased what had been a two-run Giants advantage.
