Friday night the Washington Nationals opened up a very important six-game road trip with a matchup against the at the time 4-15 Miami Marlins. The Fish hold the worst record in baseball, but it was Washington who looked like they were outmatched last night.
It was more of the same from the Nationals. Inconsistent offense, decent starting pitching, and the bullpen, especially left-handed relievers, not being able to get an out in a key spot. After starter Anibal Sanchez was replaced with the game 2-1 and the bases loaded, left-hander Matt Grace came into the game and on the first pitch hit the first batter he faced making it a 3-1 game.
