Scrappy Nats Bag Snakes in Series Finale

As Kevin Frandsen said at the end of the Nats TV broadcast yesterday afternoon, “This is different. And this is a good different.”  These young Nats have their ups and downs, but their ability to shake things off and continue to compete after a brutal loss on Saturday night was on full display in the series finale on Sunday.  While still early in the season, the Nats are playing better than 2022. 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 Expedite Series Win Over Cubs

The Washington Nationals won the final game of a home series with the Chicago Cubs in less than two hours.  The Nats won the last three games of the four-game set and clinched their third series victory out of their last four. 

After the Rain, Gray Shines Again for Nats

Returning to their home ballpark, the Washington Nationals were unable to maintain the momentum that helped them to a winning four-and-two record during last week’s road trip.  The NL leading Pittsburg Pirates swept the Nats by a combined score of 22-4 in the doubleheader. But less than 24 hours after getting pummeled the night before, the Nationals came out flying in the series finale on Sunday.  The Nationals turned the table and outhit Pittsburgh 15-6.  All the Nats runs came in the first three innings and every Nat in the lineup recorded a hit. Josiah Gray won it for Washington with another quality outing.
