Game #22 Nats first series of ’23 against the Mets

The Washington Nationals have their first meeting of the year with the New York Mets. If the Nats can reverse their record from last year, that would be a good goal. The Mets had some serious ownage of the Nats last year, and this offseason the Nats grabbed Trevor Williams and Dominic Smith as two former Mets that hit free agency in the offseason. One by choice was Williams, and the other by circumstance.

Game #21 and the Nats will try for something special today

The Washington Nationals have a chance to do something special today and sweep a series for the first time since August 2021. The last time the Nats swept a 3-game series was in July 2021 before that infamous trade deadline. Yesterday, these young Nats pulled off an improbable win in the longest of Vegas odds when they beat Minnesota’s ace, Pablo Lopez, with Chad Kuhl going up against him. Lopez had entered the game with a miniscule 1.73 ERA and a new 4-year contract extension for $73.5 million. Lopez was bested by Kuhl who was signed in the offseason to a minor league deal.

The Nats face a familiar foe today in Pablo Lopez who was traded to the Twins from the Marlins in the offseason. Lopez has shown with a fresh arm that he can be an ace of aces early in the season. He is a pitcher that few know about because he just flies below the radar. The Twins just signed him to a four-year extension this week.
