Beating Philadelphia isn’t as hard as Philadelphians say it is. Well, unless you’re the Washington Nationals in 2020 that is. Since that tweet from the team’s official Twitter account, the Philadelphia Phillies have gone 6-0 against the Nats. Whoops.
It was anything but pretty for the Nationals in this series. In the first and fourth games, Trea Turner and Juan Soto tried to ignite the offense, but the rotation couldn’t contain the hosts, while in the second and third games, the offense was shut down, leading to a clean sweep.
