Game #32 has the Blue Jays in DC

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.

Game #31 Nats give it another try to get above .500

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.

Road Trip To Fredericksburg

A road trip to Fredericksburg on Wednesday to see Travis Sykora’s debut in Single-A started off with a lot of promise for the future. Sykora just celebrated his 20th birthday this week, and at one-time last year was on some draft boards as a first rounder. The high schooler from Round Rock, Texas was a bargain for the Nats in the third round last year. He skipped the Florida Complex League and came straight to Fredericksburg. His second inning started like you hoped with two consecutive strikeouts yesterday, and that is where you saw a glimpse. But then you quickly saw that he was facing batters who have had several weeks in real games — and Sykora was being held to a pitch count of 50 — and exited in the third inning.

Game #30 Nats will try to even up the series

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.

Game #28 Nats go for some history

The Washington Nationals are coming off of one of their most improbable wins in their history, with a comeback from 7-runs down. With 23-runs scored in their past two games and three wins in this four game series, the Nats could win a rare four game series today. The last time they won a series of four or more games was on September 26, 2019 as they took a five game series from the Phillies. Yes, 2019. These scrappy Nats don’t give up, and they fight until the end. With a win today, the Nats would also reach the .500 mark for the first time, this late into a season, since July 2, 2021.
