Malachi Shelton powered the Washington Nationals to a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The final score was 8-2. The Washington shortstop, the 25th overall pick in the 2034 draft, was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Kelvin Purcell earned the win for Washington. He lasted 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 7-3. Washington is now 50-27, 7½ games up in the National League East Division.

With Washington trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Shelton hit a cutter from Dave Stevens for a 2-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Nationals ahead, 2-1.

"It was our day today," Shelton told the Washington Observer. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
