The swings the Nats are taking are wild to watch. Feel like they almost know what’s coming. Everything is loud and hit hard. They’re unloading. So we’re having fun. This is fun.

Still haven't processed that grand slam. Probably never will. Wow.
— Geoff: Shark Family Patriarch (Do do do dododo) (@LeftCoastBias) July 9, 2021

All I'm asking for is Tatis to homer for the second time this inning to tie it.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) July 9, 2021

Look at that incredible RBI single from Tatis.

Foul ball of Caratini's right hand.

He's staying in the game but was in quite a bit of pain.
— Jeff Sanders (@sdutSanders) July 9, 2021

Hits a grand slam, throws a 1-2-3 inning.
— Only Padres (@OnlyPadres) July 9, 2021

this is the first game i've watched w/my wife this season and she started tearing up when Scan was talking to Camarena's family and then wondered why Hosmer did "that weird swipey thing" on the Tatis throw and i've never loved her more.
— marcus slamarena (@marcusSDTX) July 9, 2021

Padres advanced the runner by swinging away and that should be the end of that with regards to bunts.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) July 9, 2021

Why is he swinging like a power hitter?
— Brian (@monkigrass) July 9, 2021

Good ol pop up Profar coming up clutch.
— Sean D (@WonkoSD) July 9, 2021

Tommy Pham ties it up. Padres were trailing 8-0 and now it's 8-8.
