Nationals stop 11-game skid as Wood hits second 2-run homer in 11th for 4-3 win over Rockies
WASHINGTON — James Wood hit a pair of two-run homers, including a game-winning shot in the 11th inning, and the Washington Nationals snapped their 11-game losing streak Thursday with a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. With one out and automatic runner Riley Adams on third, Wood drove a 1-0 pitch from Seth Halvorsen (1-2) to center field for his 20th home run — giving the Nationals only their third win in 17 games this month.

America's Big, Beautiful Land Sale
Uncle Sam owns nearly half of the land west of the Rockies, and GOP lawmakers want to give states and businesses a tiny piece of the action. Selling a small amount of federal land would raise revenue and spur development, so why are some Republicans trying to protect the government's hoard? The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee announced a plan last week to sell public land as part of the GOP's reconciliation bill. The proposal designates about 258 million acres of land—40% of federal holdings—as potentially available for sale. It directs the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to sell up to 3.3 million acres from these designated zones. The areas up for sale would exclude land with dedicated uses such as national parks and monuments, and land previously leased for mining, energy production and other activities. The plan directs federal agencies to prioritize selling land that is near existing roads or suitable for home-building. Agencies would consult governors before auctioning land in their states, and state and local governments would have the right to make an offer before private bidders. The selloffs would put unused resources in the hands of owners who commit to invest. The available land includes areas that are sometimes used for cattle grazing, but ranchers and other users would have ample time to comment before these parcels are sold. The sales would also raise money to offset tax cuts in the rest of the bill.

Nationals end 11-game skid with James Wood's walk-off homer in extras, avoid sweep by lowly Rockies
The Washington Nationals were on the verge of recording MLB's longest losing streak of the season, and against a Colorado Rockies team that started the month by becoming the third-fastest major-league team to reach the 50-loss mark. That's when James Wood got the Nationals out of the woods. Advertisement With two outs and a man on third in the bottom of the 11th inning, Wood deposited a two-run, walk-off homer to center field on Thursday. Having also blasted a two-run shot in the fourth, the second-year left fielder logged all four of the Nationals' RBI in their much-needed 4-3 victory. Still just 22 years old, Wood is the youngest player in Nationals/Expos franchise history with a multi-homer game that featured a walk-off dinger, according to Sarah Langs. Wood now has 20 home runs on the season, and Washington has its first victory in 13 days. One more loss, and the Nationals would've tied their longest single-season skid ever: a 12-game drought that ran Aug. 8-20, 2008, just four years into the team's history. Advertisement And so the pressure was on Thursday at Nationals Park, especially because of Washington's opponent. The Rockies entered the four-game road series with an embarrassing 14 total wins this season. Then Colorado rattled off three straight victories over the Nats — featuring a jaw-dropping 12 home runs — extending what turned out to be a four-game win streak following their June 15 blowout against the Atlanta Braves. That head-turning stretch represents 23.5% of the Rockies' wins this season. Colorado didn't go yard Thursday in D.C., though. The Rockies took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 11th when first baseman Michael Toglia drove in third baseman Ryan McMahon with a single to center. Wood then rescued the Nationals in the bottom half of the inning, launching a 1-0 pitch 428 feet. The long ball also scored Riley Adams, who was on third base at the time.
