The Toronto Blue Jays came into Washington needing a win and sadly, the pitching staff was just not throwing well against the Nationals. Mind you, some calls from umpire Angel Hernandez may have had a “minor” impact on a few innings/outcomes but nevertheless, the Blue Jays walked away with the loss and continue to struggle to gain playoff ground on this most recent road trip.
