WASHINGTON --The end of the season came so abruptly for the Nationals, with another loss in the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile, but that does not diminish what they accomplished before the ending.
The Nationals won 97 games, the second most in franchise history, and captured their fourth division championship in the past six seasons. Their offense shattered records for runs and home runs, with NL MVP Award candidates up and down the lineup. Washington's starting pitching was strong, with two aces at the top backed up by a career year from another franchise stalwart.
There was a lot to be proud of for these Nationals in one of the most exciting seasons in franchise history.
