Picks up third save
Poulin earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Orioles, allowing one walk over two scoreless innings.
Analiz
With Clayton Beeter having pitched Saturday and Richard Lovelady working in the seventh inning, Poulin was called upon to pitch the final two innings Sunday with a two-run lead. The southpaw was sharp, issuing just one walk as he locked down his third save of the season and his first since May 13. Poulin has been a bright spot in an otherwise maligned Nationals bullpen -- he's given up just one run in his last 7.2 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.88 with a 1.28 WHIP and 22:19 K:BB across 34.1 innings this year.

Grabbing opener assignment
Poulin will serve as the Nationals' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Phillies, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Analiz
Poulin is no stranger to opener assignments, as Tuesday will mark his 10th of the season. The southpaw has held lefty bats to a .173/.283/.346 batting line in 2026, so it makes sense to have him face Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper at the top of the Philadelphia lineup before turning the game over to righty Zack Littell, who will work in bulk relief.
