The Home for Washington Nationals Game Talk

The Washington Nationals wrap up their season series with a rubber game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Cinco de Mayo and Star Wars weekend. Yesterday was a bummer loss, and the page has to be turned — but don’t forget the lesson in the book that you just read.

The Washington Nationals have their Star Wars weekend celebration going today with a Kyle Finnegan Star Wars bobblehead. What might have been a sell-out will be another game dampened by rain that will keep the crowds away from outside activities today. Last night was chilly and the rains held-off just long enough to get the game in before the skies opened up after midnight around the DMV. What a comeback win last night. The Nats are now tied for the MLB lead with 11 come-from-behind victories.

The Washington Nationals are back home after a very successful 5-2 road trip. The team is bobbing and weaving by the .500 level, and at 15-16 it won’t be easy as the team will face the Blue Jays best two pitchers tonight and tomorrow while the Nats send the struggling Patrick Corbin (0-3, 6.82 ERA) to the mound this evening.

The Washington Nationals played an absolute thriller in Texas last night and came away with a 1-0 victory in the process. Starter Trevor Williams set a modern baseball record by starting a game and working out of two bases loaded situations over two innings with no outs, and came away with a scoreless start over 5.0 innings. He played Houdini and made the baserunners disappear twice. That is walking a tightrope over fire that few survive — yet he did. A suggestion: Don’t Try It Again.

The Washington Nationals arrived in Texas on their American Airlines charter late last night while celebrating a 4-game sweep in Miami that took the team to the .500 mark. A win tonight by the Nats would get the team above .500 for the first time since July 1 of 2021. For Nationals’ fans, it has been a long three years, in waiting, to see their team experience a sustained modicum of successes.
