Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam during Tuesday's matchup against the New York Mets, making it the second time in franchise history that a player has ever accomplished the feat.

This also marked the first grand slam of Wood's career. The 23-year-old recorded his 13th homer and 34th RBI of the season with his home run. The last time a player hit an inside-the-park grand slam was Raimel Tapia with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2022. 

Before him? Michael A. Taylor with the Nationals on September 8, 2017. 

Wood's inside-the-park grand slam is the 211th time to happen since Retrosheet tracked the stat back to 1876. He headed into the game leading the league with 41 runs and seven intentional walks, also leading the National League with 40 total walks. 

The Nationals are third in the National League East heading into Tuesday's matchup with a 23-25 record.
