So this is all it took to awaken the Washington Nationals’ offense in 2021? A visit to their desert cousins in Arizona?
The team that showed up in Phoenix on Friday night to deliver a 17-2 bashing to the Arizona Diamondbacks bore no resemblance to the side that has scored more than two runs in a game only once this week.
Perhaps it’s not too late to apply for membership in the National League West, so Washington can get more games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, in their hitter-friendly ballpark, with their even more hitter-friendly pitching staff.
