Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk founded the youth activist group “Turning Point USA” and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.

Nationals’ top pitching prospect Travis Sykora needs Tommy John surgery, the team just revealed. Big blow for a guy who possibly was poised to reach the majors sometime in 2026.
