The Washington Nationals put on an offensive clinic Wednesday night, erupting for a 15-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins in a game that started slow but ended in spectacular fashion. After a rain-delayed start, the skies cleared and so did any doubts about the Nationals' bats.

The Twins struck first, but it was all Washington from the fourth inning onward. James Wood ignited the rally with a leadoff walk and a stolen base, setting the stage for CJ Abrams' game-tying double to center. Though the Nationals couldn't capitalize fully in that frame, the momentum had shifted.

Minnesota briefly regained the lead on Matt Wallner's solo homer in the fifth, but that would be their last hurrah. The Nationals answered immediately when Drew Millas crushed an 86 mph fastball 398 feet to center for a two-run homer—his first of the season—putting Washington up 3-2.

From there, the floodgates opened. Abrams doubled to lead off the sixth, and Brady House followed with a double of his own to extend the lead to 4-2. The runs kept coming, but the exclamation point arrived in the eighth inning when Abrams launched a 95 mph sinker into the right-center seats for a grand slam—his second career grand slam and ninth home run of the season. José Tena capped the night with a solo shot of his own.

For a team that had struggled to find its rhythm early in the season, this was the kind of breakout performance that can change a clubhouse's entire outlook. Starting pitcher Miles Mikolas, who entered the game with an 0-3 record and an 8.23 ERA, got the run support he needed to finally notch his first win of the season.

When the bats come alive like this, there's no better feeling for a team—or for fans watching from the stands. Whether you're heading to the ballpark or watching from home, make sure you're repping your Nationals gear for games like this one.
