Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Dylan Crews homered and Mitchell Parker pitched into the sixth inning as the Washington Nationals beat the visiting Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Tuesday night to notch their fourth straight win.
Parker (4-3) worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed three runs on six hits for the Nationals. He struck out four and walked one. Kyle Finnegan pitched the ninth to earn his 15th save.

Matt Olson homered for Atlanta, which had won three of four games.
James Wood had two hits for Washington.
The Nationals jumped on Strider for three runs in the first. Wood singled with one out and Nathaniel Lowe singled him to third. Keibert Ruiz doubled down the right-field line, scoring Wood. Luis Garcia Jr. followed with an RBI single that left runners on first and third, then Ruiz scored on a wild pitch.

Washington took a 4-3 lead in the bottom half when Crews homered to left with two outs.
Nasim Nunez made a sliding catch in center to rob White of a leadoff hit in the top of the seventh.
Jose Tena reached on a bunt single to start the bottom of the seventh. CJ Abrams singled with one out, then the runners moved to second and third when Dylan Lee balked. Wood walked to load the bases and Tena beat Alex Verdugo’s throw home when Lowe flied to left, increasing the lead to 5-3.

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball:Yo Dodgers, get Yoshinobu Yamamoto some run supportThe Los Angeles Dodgers have had some tough pitching luck this season. As soon as they got Clayton Kershaw back, they had to send another starter, Roki Sasaki, to the injured list. (Their IL is exclusively made up of pitchers right now.) And while Kershaw was shaky in his 2025 debut, the Dodgers at least have Yamamoto.

Tostão indica time que ‘dá aulas’ no Brasil hoje: “Único”
Tostão em entrevista para o jornal "O Tempo" (Reprodução - YouTube) Tostão está encantado com o padrão de jogo a fase ostentada pelo Palmeiras na temporada 2025. Em texto publicado na Folha de S. Paulo nesta terça (20), ele enalteceu como o elenco palestrino é ‘recheado’ de peças com alta qualidade, possuindo uma rotatividade que não impacta no nível de desempenho. Na avaliação dele, além de rodar muito bem o elenco, por ter duas opções de jogadores em quase todos os setores do campo, o técnico Abel Ferreira ainda consegue se adaptar de acordo com cada necessidade. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Palmeiras, além de ser o único time brasileiro com dois jogadores de nível técnico parecido para quase todas as posições, alterna as estratégias de acordo com o momento e o adversário, sabe poupar dois a três jogadores diferentes a cada […]

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza throws his support behind Juan Soto amid criticism: ‘He’s 26, man’
Getty Images New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza defended outfielder Juan Soto on Tuesday, a day after saying he would meet with the star over his perceived lack of hustle. "He's human. He's 26, man," Mendoza told reporters before a loss to the Boston Red Sox. "He's going to be fine. He's Juan Soto."Soto, who signed the richest contract in Major League Baseball history over the offseason, has been subject to criticism about his effort level, as well as his offensive output. Following a 1 for 3 showing on Tuesday, he's now hitting .247/.379/.437 (134 OPS+) with eight home runs and more walks than strikeouts. Most players would happily take those marks, but Soto's compensation and history (this would represent a career-worst season) make him an exception. Why Juan Soto has been so un-Soto this season: Three red flags behind […]
3 best NBA player props, Knicks vs. Pacers odds for Game 1: Use Siakam, Towns in 2025 NBA Playoff picks
Imagn Images Very few professional athletes will admit they listen to the outside chatter about them, especially during the NBA playoffs, but the last time Karl-Anthony Towns took the court, he played like someone ready to silence any critics. Towns scored 11 points in the first quarter of New York's 119-81 close-out victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday and finished the contest with 21 points on a series-high 20 field-goal attempts. The Knicks will begin their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday in a rematch of a conference semifinals series from last year, which the Pacers won in seven games, but the Knicks didn't have Towns yet in that series. Towns could give you value in the Wednesday NBA player props, even above players like Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton. You can enter pregame NBA props on betting apps […]
