The Washington Nationals have been getting exceptional starting pitching for most of the season. The starting pitching ERA is the 5th best in all of baseball with a 3.44 ERA. But the Nats offense is not getting the job done in games when the bullpen is actually good — like yesterday in a 2-0 Nats loss. The combination of Josh Bell, Nathaniel Lowe, and Keibert Ruiz in the first two games of this series are a combined 0-22.

The Washington Nationals have Brad Lord on the mound, and the Nats could really use a win from this starter to keep the positivity flowing forward from last night’s walk-off win.

The angst from losing a 3-0 lead in the 8th inning only affected the fans as the Washington Nationals offense never lost hope as they trailed 4-3 entering the bottom of the 9th inning in Nationals Park. First up was Dylan Crews against the Mets’ vaunted bullpen. In a 3-2 count, Crews went oppo on a 99 mph fastball that Juan Soto seemingly had tracked at the wall 368 feet away — and the ball tipped off of his glove for a lead-off triple. A ball that would have been a homer in Cincinnati, Yankee Stadium, and Tampa.

The Washington Nationals and the NY Mets have identical records on runs scored this season, and the Mets are winning with exceptional starting pitching that is ranked best in the league. The Nats starting pitching is not too far behind. To beat the Mets, the Nats pitching has to be better.

The Washington Nationals continue to win series against teams that were projected to make the postseason like the Dodgers, Orioles, and Diamondbacks. But they two lost series on their last road trip to teams that are not expected to come close to the playoffs like the Pirates and the Marlins. If the Nationals just took care of business in Pittsburgh and Miami — they would have a winning record. Instead, they are at an 11-14 record with slim chances of going at least 5-1 to finish April with a winning record.

The Washington Nationals won the first two games of this series against Baltimore to take their record to 11-13. This series wraps up tonight against the Orioles. A key is for the Nationals who must go 5-2 or better to finish with a winning record on April 30 — something that manager Dave Martinez has not been able to do in his managerial career that began with the Nats in the 2018 season.

The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles have even more competition today from the Washington Capitals who are in playoff hockey just up the street. Last night, there was just under 30,000 in paid attendance to watch the Nats dominate in a 7-0 1-hit win with 8.0 strong innings from Mitchell Parker.

The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles turned a big page in their storied and mostly acrimonious history recently. When the Orioles changed ownership before the 2024 season from the Angelos family, the lawsuits and bickering have finally ended. The teams finally terminated their MASN relationship effective after this season, and the teams seem to be working together towards some joint marketing to the fans in the region including exhibition games to finish up the offseason for years to come. Just yesterday, they jointly announced a streaming service to watch games. Today, they will face each other on the field where both teams are under .500 and each want to win this series.

In the offseason, the Washington Nationals outfield was supposed to be a strength of the team. Two-thirds of that group in that photo had a slow start to their 2025 season. James Wood has done his part. Other than Wood on offense, CJ Abrams, Nathaniel Lowe, and Keibert Ruiz all had good starts to their season. The rest have been struggling, and Dylan Crews woke up in Colorado. Now he has to show that wasn’t a fluke. Baseball is always about, “What have you done for me lately.” That might not be fair, but it is what it is. Baseball has a marathon season, and we will cross the 15 percent completion mark on the season on Wednesday. What was done in the offseason to build this roster — and the commitment from ownership is still being debated.

The Washington Nationals have won the first two games of this three game series and have already sealed a series win. Now we are in Game 2 of this doubleheader with Brad Lord poetically pitching on Easter Sunday.
Tonight’s split admission doubleheader finished with a thrilling 3-2 win in the first game of the twin bill. The Nationals enter this game at 9-12, and the Rockies are 3-17. After the game, the Nats will fly back to Dulles Airport ahead of their Monday day-off.
