"Apologize, it was pretty lopsided early there. Just wanted to say thank you to the fans and how cool it was. We definitely felt the energy and just the amount of people that were here today."
"We're swinging it really well, driving runners in. We need to keep that up, and we'll be good."
"You've got probably less room for error than with most lineups. They're top to bottom one of the best lineups in the league, a lot of great players over there."
The Washington Nationals lost 13-6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in their home opener. Manager Blake Butera apologized to fans after the game, acknowledging the energy of the sold-out crowd. Despite the loss, every player recorded a hit, with CJ Abrams hitting a three-run homer. However, starter Miles Mikolas had a historically bad outing, allowing 11 earned runs. Mikolas initially performed well but struggled against the aggressive Dodgers lineup, which capitalized on his mistakes.
