On a pace to win about two home games a month, even when the Washington Nationals aren’t playing their worst baseball for their own paying customers, they still leave many us wondering what we saw.
A 13-6 victory the Houston Astros to break a two-game skid and improve to 5-14 at home could be cause for celebration. But it’s also cause to pause and wonder how good the 11-23 Nats might actually be if they didn’t regularly give up bases and outs.
The Nats handed Erick Fedde a lead in the first inning and grew it to 7-2 heading into the fifth.
