What to watch for:

First, the team fell to a game under .500. Then came a players-only meeting. Two dramatic wins, a blowout one and one getaway game loss later, the Nationals appear to be clicking on all cylinders heading into their series with Pittsburgh.

However, the four-game series did come against the Miami Marlins, who happen to be owners of the worst record in the National League.
