Andrés Chaparro caps impressive second half as Nationals take final series over Mets

Washington Nationals first baseman Andrés Chaparro hit two home runs against the New York Mets in Game 162 to conclude the 2026 regular season. Chaparro's performance propelled Washington to a victory in the season finale, securing their final series over the Mets and bringing their season total to 77 wins.

The strong finish capped a productive second half of the year for Chaparro as the Nationals wrapped up their campaign. His late-season showing positions him alongside core building blocks like CJ Abrams, James Wood, Daylen Lile, Connelly Early, and Cade Cavalli as the franchise prepares for the 2027 season.
