The Cubs, who had dropped four in a row, made six trades prior to Friday’s deadline, scattering Javier Báez, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Craig Kimbrel and others to contenders.
The Nationals went 8-18 in July, their worst record in a month when they played more than one game since going 8-19 in June 2010. “It’s sad to see the stars go, the players that we had here and what they did,” Ortega said. “But I think it also gives me and the other players an opportunity to take advantage of and stake our place here with the team.”
“Usually, you want to give somebody a little softer landing when they get to the new team,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “That was the plan, but it didn’t work out that way. He handled the moment really nice.”Ortega opened the scoring in the first, coming around when Washington’s Juan Soto misplayed Patrick Wisdom’s liner to right into a three-base error.
