There’s been much discussion about the health of the projected rotation in the offseason, and with 3 of those guys currently on the injured list the team has needed to dip into their young stable of pitchers. The results have been disappointing to say the least, with the replacements all having ERA’s over 5. But things are looking up as Slade was electric to start the series and Nelson is turning things around in June. That continued today.
Whether it’s by luck or design, the game plan this entire series was to make the Nationals beat you with the bat.
