The Home Run Derby is still weeks away, set for July 14 in Atlanta, and has no official entrants yet. “Would I like to see him do it?” Manager Dave Martinez said. “Yeah.”

James Wood homered and drove in four runs Monday night as the visiting Washington Nationals topped the San Diego Padres 10-6. Wood clinched Washington's first win over San Diego since June 2023 with a towering three-run homer off the right field foul pole in the top of the eighth to make it 9-3.
