• Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes deep three times in loss

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Garcia went 3-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss to the White Sox. Garcia did his best to spark a comeback from an early seven-run deficit, slugging three home runs for the first time in his career. The effort was especially encouraging after the 25-year-old had gone just 3-for-32 since his last multi-hit game Sept. 10. On the season, he's slashing .255/.291/.417 with 16 homers, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 13 steals across 519 plate appearances.
