The Washington Nationals had a chance to pull within a .5 game of first in the NL East in the series finale of their three-game set with the Colorado Rockies, but they dropped two of three this weekend and four of seven on their homestand.
Things started to go wrong for the Washington Nationals in the sixth inning of Sunday afternoon's series finale with the Colorado Rockies. Max Scherzer and the Nationals led 3-2, but Carlos Gonzalez homered to right to start the top of the inning, sending his third home run of the series and second of the game off the facade of the second deck to make it 3-3.
