The Home for Washington Nationals Game Talk

The Washington Nationals had an ugly blown save in the 7th inning but then tagged a blown save of their own on the Cleveland Guardians bullpen as the Nats won a 10-9 thriller with Kyle Finnegan‘s 100th career Save.

The Washington Nationals finished off their weekend in Cincinnati with two impressive wins, and came home Sunday night on a happy flight. Weather permitting, the Nats planned on sending Jake Irvin to the mound on Monday and the game was rained out. Today we get a traditional one-ticket = two games for the price of one admission. With an extra day of rest, what version do we get today of Irvin?

The Washington Nationals got an early lead but then fell behind in another shaky start by Trevor Williams. The Nats offense clawed back and then took a demanding lead that allowed Williams to stay in the game, and turn the game into a win.

The Washington Nationals fell flat in another first game of a series last night with a record of 5-6 in first games of series. Sure, they were facing Cincinnati’s best pitcher, and the Nats best pitcher, Mitchell Parker, based on ERA, fell flat for his second game in a row following that outing when he went 8.0 full innings.

The Washington Nationals arrived in Cincinnati just before 1AM last night after a late game in Philadelphia. The players got to bed just after 2AM, and now are sitting through a lengthy rain delay. In fact the entire weekend calls for a lot of rain. Tonight matches up the Reds ace, Hunter Greene, and the Nats top ERA pitcher, Mitchell Parker.

The Washington Nationals had a golden opportunity to notch their biggest road win of the season in the first game of this Phillies series and failed to hold their lead in the 9th inning. Kind of sounds like Opening Day. Just like the opening series, the Nationals will try to salvage a game in the series prior to heading on their charter jet to Cincinnati after midnight.

The Washington Nationals had a golden opportunity to notch their biggest road win of the season last night, but they failed to execute on a few pitches in the 9th inning that put the tying and winning run on the bases. All of that could have been righted with 2 outs when outfielder Dylan Crews threw a bullet to catcher Keibert Ruiz that was not caught at the plate — moments later the Phillies walked-off on the Nats via wild pitch.
