If you’re a fan of the Washington Nationals, it’s been a roller coaster of emotions over the past few days. After losing three straight in DC to the visiting Boston Red Sox (aka the best team in baseball), the Nats found themselves one game under .500 with a record of 42-43 and seven games back from the NL East division lead. Reeling, the Nats had a team meeting in hopes of righting the ship before the Miami Marlins (36-52) came to town.
Things weren’t easy for Washington in their first matchup against the Marlins, falling behind 9-0 before scoring 14 unanswered runs (!
