The Washington Nationals dominated the Colorado Rockies 8–0 on July 22 at Coors Field, delivering a shutout performance that fell well short of the Vegas total of 11.5 runs. Washington's pitching was the story, allowing just 6 hits while striking out 10 Rockies batters and permitting zero earned runs despite a 4.79 ERA. The Nationals' offense was efficient if not explosive, collecting 14 hits with one home run and driving in 6 runs across eight innings. Colorado's lineup struggled significantly, managing only 6 hits with 10 strikeouts and failing to score despite drawing 4 walks; the Rockies also committed 3 errors that compounded their offensive woes. The home team's pitching staff was ineffective, allowing 14 hits and 6 earned runs in a lopsided affair. This shutout victory marks a significant pitching statement for Washington and suggests the Nationals' rotation may be stabilizing heading into the second half.
