With his home run in the first inning, Joey Wiemer became the first player to homer in each of his first two games as a National (2005-pres.).
His two home runs in his first two games matches Mark Reynolds in 2018 for the most by a National in his first two games with the team (Reynolds homered twice in his second game).

With his 24 whiffs in today's start, Gore wraps up his 2024 season as just the 4th National to record 400+ whiffs (8th-most overall) in a single season, since tracking began in 2008.
His 432 swing & misses currently rank 3rd in the NL (6th in MLB), the most by a Nat since 2019.
After 6.0 shutout innings today, MacKenzie Gore has pitched to a 1.55 ERA (7 ER/40.2 IP) over his last 7 starts, the 4th-best ERA in MLB over this span.
He's posted a 0.91 WHIP and a .181 opponents' average along the way.
Since making his debut on July 1, James Wood has driven five of his nine home runs to the opposite field.
That's tied for the most in the NL and tied for second-most in MLB during that time span, behind only Juan Soto (six).
