The Kansas City Royals defeated the Washington Nationals 1-0 on September 24, 2024, in a tight, 10-inning game at Nationals Park. The Royals’ pitching staff played a pivotal role in the victory, with starting pitcher Austin Ragans delivering six strong innings of scoreless ball. Angel Zerpa, who relieved Ragans, earned the win after a scoreless 10th inning.

Offensively, Bobby Witt Jr. was key for the Royals, going 2-for-4 with a walk and stealing his 31st base of the season. In the top of the 10th, Witt singled off Nationals pitcher Kyle Finnegan to drive in the only run of the game. The Nationals struggled offensively, with James Wood getting the lone hit in the final inning for the home team.

The game was marked by both teams failing to capitalize on several scoring opportunities throughout the game, particularly early on when the Royals loaded the bases twice in the first and third innings but could not score.
