Nationals Series Story vs Phillies

An average crowd of just over 30,000 turned out for a battle for fourth place over the weekend in our nation’s capital. The Washington Nationals won the first game of a three-game set to briefly tie the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East division at 25-32. But the Phillies used eight home runs to win two of the three games. The Nats hit only two homers and are now back in sole possession of fifth place.

Since improvement was a crucial goal for the club in 2023, this Washington squad is on a solid track, even if the track is not the fastest.  The Nats salvaged the last game of the series in Phoenix yesterday with another crazy finish.  In doing so, the Nats also boosted their confidence and character for the remainder of the season.

Nats Take Two of Three at Rival Mets

In the last week, the Washington Nationals won two straight road series versus good teams (Twins, Mets). In taking the first two games of each series the Nats finished a very productive road trip at 4-2. The Nats road record now stands at 7-6. If those numbers sound good, the team’s quality of play was even better. The National League leading Pittsburgh Pirates (18-8) roll into town for a three-game set over the weekend.
