One of the main problems over the past week or so for the Washington Nationals has been their bullpen. Even though Max Scherzer did not have his best stuff over six innings in last night’s loss to the Blue Jays, it was the bullpen that put the game somewhat out of reach. Blake Treinen loaded the bases with no out in the seventh and proceeded to give up three earned runs en route to a 7-3 loss.
Last night’s bullpen woes, added on to the bad weekend the Nats had in Cincinnati, do not bring much progress for a bullpen that is seen as the weakest aspect of this team.
