The Washington Nationals seemed to lose focus after Miles Mikolas lost the lead on Friday. The Nats never scored again and have now lost two games in a row while only scoring two runs per game from the most potent offense in baseball.
Getting back to winning needs to start today for the Nationals and they will have Cade Cavalli on the mound for this start.
On offense, the Nats are at the top of MLB for the most runs scored this season at 407 runs and that is an impressive 5.36 runs per game. With the Nats pitching giving up 4.66 earned runs per game, the difference is really those pesky unearned runs due to the errors. Overall, the Nats have a +12 run differential on the season. Since April 19th, the Nats are the 16th best in ERA in MLB in that span at 4.19.
