On April 24, the Washington Nationals had a record of 10-14, the worst mark for the club in several years.
The Nationals lost that day 4-3 in San Francisco, giving them six straight losses by one run as they fell 6.5 games back of the first-place New York Mets.
But the next day, Washington crushed the Giants 15-2 to post a win behind ace Max Scherzer, who has won four times after a Nationals loss already this year.
The Nationals were 20-17 overall after Tuesday’s 4-0 win in San Diego, leaving them just 11/2 games back of the first-place Atlanta Braves.
