Nationals News
The Washington Nationals have been dealt a rough hand lately, suffering a 13-6 blowout against the Dodgers just yesterday, which puts their record at 3-4 in a still-forming season. Despite the recent drubbing, CJ Abrams continues to delight fans with his hot bat, logging three consecutive games with a homer. The offense is averaging an impressive 6.3 runs per game this week, and the addition of Gavin Fien to the MLB Top 100 Prospects list adds a glimmer of hope for the future. Yet, the team must quickly regain its footing against the formidable Dodgers, especially with Mookie Betts now sidelined due to back pain. The Nats need their pitching staff to step up if they want to keep the momentum rolling after a mixed start.
