Nationals News
The Washington Nationals are stuck in a disappointing home stretch, now 3-12 at Nationals Park after a lackluster 1-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday. This team has shown flashes of promise on the road, but sloppiness at home is wearing thin on fans. Foster Griffin, the Nats' adaptable lefty, may be one of the few bright spots as he seeks to keep hitters off balance with his seven-pitch repertoire. In roster news, Cionel Perez has been outrighted to Triple-A, making way for Orlando Ribalta, as the team looks to shake things up. Meanwhile, All-Star Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers nearly tossed a no-hitter against the struggling Nats before a cramp cut his night short, leaving fans to ponder the missed opportunities. With a barely above .500 record in the last week, it’s clear the Nats need to find their footing at home.
