The Washington Nationals dominated the Cincinnati Reds 10–4 on May 12 at Great American Ball Park, with the visiting offense providing all the firepower needed to secure a decisive victory. Washington's lineup delivered 13 hits and 6 home runs while driving in 10 runs, posting a .736 OPS that significantly outpaced Cincinnati's anemic .684 mark. The Reds managed just 10 hits with zero homers and only 3 RBIs, striking out 10 times in the process. Despite both teams fanning 10 batters apiece, the Nationals' pitching staff proved far more efficient, allowing just 10 hits and 3 earned runs with a 4.77 ERA, while Cincinnati's bullpen surrendered 13 hits and 10 earned runs with a 4.65 ERA. The Nationals' power display—particularly their six-homer barrage—completely overwhelmed a Reds team that struggled to generate consistent offensive pressure throughout the contest. Washington's pitching depth and disciplined approach at the plate set the tone early, and Cincinnati never recovered from the early deficit. This win underscores the Nationals' ability to capitalize on home-run opportunities and suggests their rotation may be finding stability despite the elevated ERA.
