The Washington Nationals won two games on their six-game road trip to finish May 18-9, but the three-game sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds was an ugly way to end the month. Now they face the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago Cubs in D.C.
Half an inning after the Washington Nationals rallied to tie things up at 2-2 in the top of the seventh this afternoon, the Cincinnati Reds scored six in the home-half of the frame to run away with the finale in Great American Ball Park.
The win gave the Reds, who came into the series having dropped 10 of their last 11, a sweep of the three-game set with the NL East-leading Nationals.
