The Washington Nationals showed up big last night, and they have plenty of work ahead of them to not get complacent on this road trip where they have won 3-of-4 games against the Twins and the win against the Mets last night behind the strong performance from Josiah Gray.

Josiah Gray showed his Westchester County people a Big Apple surprise

Just miles from New York City, Josiah Gray grew up in one of the toniest suburbs in America in Westchester County. It does not mean that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth or had it easy. He lost his father to cancer just after he was drafted in the second round of the 2018 draft. While his family and friends from New York made the trek to Queens, New York to see him pitch last night, one seat was noticeably empty where his father was not able to physically be there. That emptiness never leaves when a loved one departs too soon. Last night his father was definitely with him in that celestial way when he delivered a pitch that might have reshaped his pitching life.

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.

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.
