The Nationals kept going up from there and eventually reached a final score of 6-2. It's the first time the Nationals have won the World Series. Though it's the Nationals' first championship, it's not the first time the city has won a world series. The Washington Senators, now known as the Minnesota Twins, won the title against the New York Giants all the way back in 1924.
