Game #41 Season is 25% complete and Nats at .500; Game 2 of the doubleheader

The Washington Nationals won the first game of this doubleheader today, and 19-31 will not happen as the team notched their 20th win of the 2024 season. With the season 25 percent complete, the sample sizes are fairly large now. Some stats you want to believe can still improve, and some like Trevor Williams‘ ERA of 1.94 you hope is going to be the greatest season in Nationals’ history.

Game #40 Part of the solution and the first game of the doubleheader

The Washington Nationals have a doubleheader today after yesterday’s rainout. One thing for sure, the team cannot get everyone in the offense rowing together. At different points of the season it was CJ Abrams and Jesse Winker carrying the offense. Eddie Rosario, at the end of April, was batting .088 — and then he caught fire the past week to be named the NL Player of the Week. Rosario batted .467 with a .600 OBP and a 1.733 OPS in the past week, and took his -0.9 WAR and brought it back to 0.0.

Game #38 Second chances for the Nats

The Washington Nationals might have shocked everyone but themselves last night as manager Dave Martinez pushed almost all the right buttons to win a game that greatly favored the Red Sox on paper. As we wrote in the pregame, Martinez needed “an ace start from Patrick Corbin as the Nats were facing the Red Sox best pitcher in righty Tanner Houck. Corbin’s results were good enough, and he earned his first win going 5.0 innings of 1-run ball. Martinez went to the bullpen with a 3-1 lead, and the Nats won 5-1 to push the team back to a game over .500. Today, the Nats get a second chance to go to two games over .500 which they last saw on June 30 of 2021.
