Nasim Nunez had a pair of two-run singles, one of which capped off a breakout 10th inning to help the Washington Nationals come away with a 6-3 victory over the host Chicago White Sox Saturday afternoon.

After Washington plated its first two runs in the 10th on a wild pitch followed by a bases-loaded walk issued by Jordan Leasure (2-1), Nunez hit a slow roller through the right side to double the Nationals' lead. He finished with four of Washington's five RBIs, nearly doubling his total of six RBIs he had in his first 24 games this season.

Cionel Perez (2-3) worked around two walks for a scoreless ninth inning and Brad Lord pitched the 10th for the Nationals, who snapped a three-game losing streak despite stranding 10 runners on base.

Only the automatic runner scored in the 10th for Chicago, which had won four of five. Miguel Vargas had a double and a pair of walks for the White Sox, who were 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 runners.

Washington starter Jake Irvin scattered four hits over his scoreless 5 2/3-inning outing, walking none and striking out nine -- his most since April 20, 2025. He ended his outing by striking out the final five batters he faced.

Mitchell Parker replaced Irvin and struck out the first batter he faced to wrap up just the second four-strikeout inning in Nationals history in the sixth after the leadoff batter reached via dropped third strike.

Chicago starter Noah Schultz allowed two runs on four hits over a career-high six innings, striking out a career-high eight in his third major league start.

Nunez came through with a seeing-eye single up the middle with two outs in the top of the fourth, scoring Brady House and Daylen Lile after they began the inning with back-to-back walks.

After the White Sox got nothing out of putting two on with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, they had that opportunity again in the eighth. This time, Chicago came through, tying the game at 2 on Everson Pereira's RBI single followed by Chase Meidroth's sacrifice fly.

A Derek Hill strikeout stranded the go-ahead run at third base.
