The Washington Nationals finally returned to their winning ways in an early afternoon game on Monday. The Nationals, who have been pretty abysmal during day games in the 2025 season, were able to send their fans home happy on Labor Day, and it was largely due to their new battery, which had spent a lot of time together in Rochester before making their MLB debuts on Monday afternoon. Obviously, the 2025 season has not gone according to plan in any perspective as a fan of this organization, but it can't be overstated just how effective the 26-year-old lefty was in his first game as a big leaguer. He only allowed 2 walks while striking out 4 batters, and he pitched well enough to earn the victory in his MLB debut, something that not many other Nationals pitchers have been able to claim over the years. Stubbs became the first Nationals catcher in team history to catch a shutout in his MLB debut, and the first catcher since 2019, which was Sean Murphy of the Oakland Athletics, to accomplish that feat.
