The Patriots jumped out early, building a 6-0 lead behind a strong offensive showing that included a two-run home run from Connor Smith in the fourth inning.

Washington responded again in the sixth, sending ten batters to the plate and scoring five runs to take control at 11-4.
The Eagles made one final push in the seventh when Cooper Floyd launched a three-run home run to bring RCB within three runs. But Washington sealed the win with a clutch defensive play, as Sven Dupree snagged a line drive and turned a game-ending double play.
