It wasn’t pretty, but the Diamondbacks got the job done when they took the home series against the Washington Nationals a month ago. Since then the Nationals have gone 11-14. In their last 30 games the Nationals have gone 14-16, so yeah, you could say they play a bit below .500 ball although their somewhat worse month of April makes the Nationals occupy the final spot in the NL East, with quite some distance from the ones in front of them.
That isn’t a surprise, of course, because just like all hens see their eggs being taken away, the Nationals have seen their golden boys getting moved: they have been in a bigger rebuild and fire sale than Jonathan and Drew Scott in Season 3 altogether.
