Washington Nationals split series with Colorado Rockies
The Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies split their four-game series following a 7-1 Nationals victory on Thursday.

Reliever Tom Cosgrove earned his first win since his 2023 debut, pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings. The win helped the Nationals improve to 63-73.

This loss marks their eighth consecutive losing season. Earlier in the series, the Rockies secured a dominant 13-1 win over the Nationals behind a grand slam from Connor Norby.
