While the Dodgers are beginning to play like the team everybody expected them to be in 2020, the Nationals are quickly getting familiar with just how far away from 2019 they are. After being clobbered by the Dodgers tonight by an 11-4 score in their home park, they have now fallen to 7-15 while the Dodgers improve to 14-9.
The game actually wasn’t as lopsided as it seems by the final score. In fact, the score was knotted at 3-3 going into the 7th when Joc Pederson came up huge for the Dodgers by smoking a two-run ding dong to put the Dodgers up 5-3.
