WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals will return from a second straight winning road trip when they host the Cincinnati Reds on Friday at Nationals Park.
Washington went 4-3 on a road trip to New York and Miami, as the Nationals won three of four against the Mets before dropping two of the three to the Marlins. Washington was off Thursday after playing 20 days in a row and after Max Scherzer lost a no-hit bid and the game in the eighth inning Wednesday to the Marlins.
In the previous road trip, the Nationals were 7-2 on a swing through San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, taking two of three from the Dodgers.
