Abrams homers twice, Corbin pitches into the seventh as Nationals ease past Pirates 6-2
CJ Abrams can put on a show during batting practice, sending balls to the far reaches of a ballpark with relative ease. The 23-year-old Abrams pushed his home run total to 18 with a towering two-run drive in the third inning and a solo shot in the seventh on Monday night, leading the Washington Nationals to a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Abrams hit just two homers as a rookie in 2022, both of them before arriving from San Diego at the trade deadline as part of the deal that sent Juan Soto to the Padres.
