Adam Frazier's double into the LF corner with 2 outs in the bottom of the 3rd scored Ryan McKenna to give Charlotte a 1-0 lead. Joan Adon struck out Jhonkensey Noel with 2 runners in scoring position to keep it a 1 run game.
Brandon Drury led off the bottom of the 4th with his 2nd HR of the year, a 403 foot shot to right-centerfield. Justin Yurchak homered in the 5th to cut Charlotte's lead to 2-1.
Braxton Garrett pitched 7 strong innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits while striking out 4 and walking 1. He also hit a batter. Austin Adams relieved to start the 8th and retired the side in order.
Noel singled to lead off the bottom of the 8th inning. Drury followed with a double. After Elehuris Montero popped out to 2B and Mike Gerber drew a walk to load the bases, McKenna struck out and Connor Wong grounded out to shortstop.
Juan Soto led off the 9th with a long single to left, which Frazier played well to keep Soto at 1st base. A. J. Puk got Carter Kieboom to hit into a nicely-turned 4-6-3 (Miller-Iglesias-Noel) double play. Curtis Mead singled to keep Washington's hopes alive, but Thairo Estrada grounded out to Jose Iglesias at short to end the game.
