Going Deep with The Nats

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.

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.

The Washington Nationals got a laugher win in Miami, and needed it. While the game not start off as a laugher, the Nats ran away with the game in the fifth inning capped by a Jesse Winker grand slam. At the top of the 9th inning, the Nationals had an 11-1 lead. The Marlins didn’t opt to pitch a position player, but manager Dave Martinez inserted Tanner Rainey for the 9th inning. Rainey gave up more runs than the Marlins had scored in the previous 17 innings off of Nats pitching. The good news, the Nationals have now won the first two games of this four game series.

The Washington Nationals came away with a win to open their series in Miami by a final score of 3-1. It took a while for the Nationals’ offense to push across some runs, and the highlight of the game happened on a 2-run single by Joey Meneses to score CJ Abrams on the back-end of the play with a Matrix slide that was impressive.
